MySQL problem with path?
Hello all.
Experiencing a major hassle. I compiled MySQL 4.2 from source on a SuSE 6.4 Linux box. I have never done this before, but it worked. I went according to a tutorial from this site.
I installed it in /usr/local/mysql . First I tried to uninstall any previous versions by doing rpm -e mysql. It said mysql not installed on this system. I then went ahead with the compile. Now, the problem;
When I try to use
$ mysql -h localhost -u mysqlusr -p
I get;
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)
It seems like it is looking for the sock file in the wrong place. How can this be fixed so that it points right? Maybe there was a version of MySQL on the server already that it did not uninstall and now it is looking for that version for part of it's program?
What do I do to get MySql to start when the system boots?
Which directory should you recommend MySQL to be installed to make it work first time?
Any advice PLEASE.

service mysqld stop

then
service mysqld startJack G.
