[TriLUG] SUSE - MySQL - Can't connect

[Daniel T. Jerome]

Hi yall,

It's been a long time since I have made a submission to trilug. I've been a
passive observer as of late.  I have a problem with connecting to my MySQL
install on SuSE 9.0.  I have all my updates in place according to YAST.

 

When I try to connect using the MYSQLCC client I get a message that says

ERROR 2013: Lost connection to My SQL server during query

 

When I try using the CLI mysql with -u and -p I get a message that says:

ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

 

When I try mysqladmin status I get a message that says:

Mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed

Error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)'

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated because I even attempted to
uninstall and reinstall the service from the purchased install disk.

 

Thanx,
