I am trying to install mysql 5.1.42 and after running below line
sudo /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password
I get this error:
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' exists!
I have created mysqld.sock
and gave permission to it too, but I still get the same error.
mysqld
running?
