i've install mysql to my linux redhat OS. but then when tried to test mySQl,i've got a problem which shows: "#2002-Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket"
would somebody please help me how to solve this problem?
This problem means that mysql deamon is not running,it is called mysqld.
So you have to start mysql before connect to it, to do this try using "mysqld_safe" command which should be in the /bin directory of your mysql installation path.
