since I did an upgrade a week ago, I have not had a need to connect mysql. Today I needed to connect but can't. Here is msg:

mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

the pid is running.

I find no error msgs other than above. How can I fix?

Different issue: You had said in previous post that you would create a config to preserve webmin settings. However, upon reboot of server after upgrade my webmin settings were changed to default. Just thought I would let you know Smile

Mysql is not running due to package tables upgrade...
That's a bugger and happens only once you upgrade an older release, and happens once.
To fix it, rename/var/lib/mysql/mysql to /var/lib/mysql/mysql.old and remove /var/lib/mysql/test and all bins in /var/lib/mysql NOT the databases.
reinstall mysql package with "installpkg" and restore user.MDY and user.MYI or start mysql and grant privileges from mysql console.

As for webmin Embarassed I did it again.
What is the config you have altered?
I could create a config script for all config in /etc/webmin though.
I'll fix that.

sorry - wife said she had some chores for me Sad . Okay, I will give it a try. So, everytime I upgrade that will have to happen?


On Webmin:

I lost my password and port changes. That's it. But biggies because, anyone knowing that I am using SMS could login to webmin by entering admin:admin. Also, my firewall is looking for a certain port for remote login.

No only once, I haven't notice any difference yet.
Webmin saves the info in miniserv.conf & miniserv.users under /etc/webmin/
Just so you know from now on.
I'll make a script though Smile

Embarassed I don't know how to restore user.MDY. I searched MYSQl's website and the only thing I found was a link to changing privileges.

Would you mind pointing me to a link on how to do that?

thanks

Stop mysql if it's running and do
cp -a /var/lib/mysql/mysql.old/user.MDY /var/lib/mysql/mysql/
if permissions are wrong do a
chown -R mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql
Start mysql
