Re: [MLUG] Anybody know what I am doing wrong with this DBMS onBENGAL!

[Scott McCool <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Try adding "-h hostname" as an argument.  /tmp/mysql.sock probably got
clobbered, but if you give it a hostname (not localhost), it'll connect
via tcp and you should get in... That's assuming mysqld is still running
on the box.

Happens to me periodically, best way around it is to specify a different
socket file on mysqld startup and make sure it doesn't get killed.
