MYSql Error

[aKaFrEE]

ok i used the tutorial posted in there and the only problem i ran into was mysql not installing into /wwwroot/mysql but instead into /wwwroot but i know why that happened. what my problem now is that ill startup mysql and it will say "./mysqld ready for connections" but then i try to connect to if, say with Invisionboard setup (or any other program that tries to connect to it) and i get this error:

mySQL error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)

mySQL error code: 2002

Some times entering 127.0.0.1 or localhost wont work, so for the setup script try entering your LAN ip or if you have a direct connection, your WAN ip.

Btw, if all else fails you can always install the RPM from ( http://www.rpmfind.net ), because some extra settings may be needed for MySQL on Redhat. It does not matter where you install it, just ask long as all its files are intact.
