I have installed Mysql on one of my other laptops - the first time around was perfect, everything ran first time of asking. I have installed it on a second machine and after being told it has successfully installed - at the terminal screen I see this error message.
[ginge@ginge ~]$ mysql
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
After doing some research lots of people have come across this problem - but I cannot locate a definitive answer as to how this should be fixed.
Can anyone help?
