Hi,
the server socket value can be set with
[mysqld]
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
in the /etc/my.cnf file.
Did you restart MySQL after changing the socket value in this file ? Do
you have any MySQL error messages in your logs ? Is the mysql server
process running ?

All,
Okay, got a problem with installing Snort which has to
be easy to answer. I have looked on the web, at
Harper, and other sources and I still can not figure
this one out. I even took the Sourcefire Snort class
and followed the manual but this problem is still
there and I know it is easy but I can't find it.
As such, I have already drunk 2 big hits of beer and
am planning on drinking more.
Okay, while installing MySQl I am getting the
following error message;
"can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '
/tmp/mysql.sock' "
I am at my wits end as to why this occuring. There is
what I have already done so you don't tell me
something I already know.
cp support-files/my-medium.cnf /etc/my.cnf
vi /etc/my.cnf
[client]
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
:wq
I have changed the socket value to various settings
looking for the stupid location of that mysql.sock but
I can not find it. I have tried this on the following
OS's. (Should be meaningless but someone will ask)
RHEL 4
FC 1-4 (Yeah I have done this 5 times, all on the
airplane)
I got this problem everytime when I was typing
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql The error message would
only change value from (2), (20) to (111) as I changed
the value of the sockets settinig.
Any idea? I have my beer ready. Hopefully this will
be the last time I ever install Snort and can just use
Soucefire IS....
