Re: mysql.sock

["Gabriel Orozco" <gabriel_orozco () mx sumida com>]

you must first create the main database with

su mysql -c "/usr/bin/mysql_install_db"

and then start mysql with /etc/rc.d/rc.mysqld start

after that, your .sock file will be in the default directory:
/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock

hope this helps, even while is not something for this list.
