./mysqlshow: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql

hi all ,I install mysql on Solaris 10 at first it work fine , but after I restart my PC and go back again I got error on
./mysqlshow: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql
I google , but still not sure how to deal with it
Thank you

I've just done a clean install of OSX Server and added the latest MYSQL packaged installer. Afterwards I found the lock file in /private/tmp/mysql.lock
The easiest way to solve this problem is to create a symbolic link so that the lock file appears to be in right place.
e.g.
cd /var
sudo mkdir mysql <== this assumes the directory is missing
cd mysql
sudo ln -s /private/tmp/mysql.sock mysql.sock
After this msql commands should work fine, and you've not fiddled with the security settings on users/groups.

Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/mysql/mysql.sock'

I'm using the pre-installed versions of php and mysql under Mac OS X Server 10.4.4 running on a G4 and am unable to get anything involving mysql to work.
I ssh to the server and enter various commands in Terminal:
on typing "mysql" I get

and on typing "mysqladmin version" I get

I'm trying to get a bug database running (mantis) under Mac OS X Server 10.4.4 that I can access from local clients.
I'm trying to follow directions at http://www.mantisbugtracker.com/manual/manual.installation.php
without knowing anything about mysql or php and I'm stuck on step 3:
"Next we will create the necessary database tables and a basic configuration
file."
I get a message saying
"Does administrative user have access to the database? ( Lost connection to MySQL server during query )"
I don't even know if following the mantis directions has resulted in the creation of a database or not. Where would it be?
Thanks for any help.

"Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock'"

Data Services=3.1
Repository=12.2.2.0000
Red Hat Enterprise 5
Designer,Job Server,Job Engine=12.2.2.3
After an unscheduled server reboot with DS up and running when trying to start a job in either Data Services Management Console or DS Designer getting the following:
"Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock'"
The mysql.sock have never been in /tmp and on the production server it does not exist there and the production server is up and running correctly. If a link is created to mysql.sock(/home/user/boedge31/bobje/mysql) the job will start but return this message:
"Cannot retrieve <Version> from the repository. Additional database information: <SQL submitted to ODBC data source <localrepo> resulted in error <MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver mysqld-5.0.46-enterprise No database selected>. The SQL submitted is <select VERSION, SECURITYKEY, GUID from AL_VERSION where NAME = 'Repository Version'"
I checked and AL_VERSION and the Version field exist.
Before the shut down DS was working correctly and had no issues. My best guess is a part of the repository was corrupted during the unscheduled shut down. It seems like DS has "forgotten" some of the settings.
Any suggestions on a possible solution?

The issue has been solved.
There was a bad path in $LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Removed the path and DS started working again.

Your biggest 'issue' right now is that your mysqld process is stopping on you -- making a connection impossible.
Why it's bombing might be in a log .. try in mysql/data/usr.local.err .. and fix why itsbombing.
To connect to it it'll be : mysql -u root -ppassword -D database

Can't connect to local web server

I'm not quite sure when this happened; I think it was upgrading to iPhoneOS 3.x but I can't swear to that (currently running 3.1). Anyway, the problem is that, whether from my app or even simply using Safari, I can't connect to a local webserver. If I'm on one computer in my office (working over WiFi just like my iPhone), and type "http://192.168.1.110/file", where 110 is a different computer, Safari will display the page just fine. But if I'm using my iPhone in the office, on the same network, and type the same URL, it will not connect. For SURE this used to work, and I haven't changed any settings on my network or on my iPhone for that matter.
No problem with connecting to external websites, clearly.

Web services are not relevant to DNS host names. You'll need to configure a default domain name for whatever is being used as the local domain, whether that is established via System Preferences or via DHCP settings. If your Windows box is running a DNS server, you'll need to set the Mac DNS resolver address at the Windows DNS server.

I can't connect to a certain server through my airport extreme

A couple of weeks ago, I noticed I could no longer connect to my websites, which are all on the same server.
I can see all other websites I've tried to visit.
It doesn't seem to be a server problem. Everyone else can see the sites fine.
If I connect my computer directly to my router, I can see the sites.
I've tried many computers and phones on my network, and none can see the sites.
Any Ideas?

ERROR#: 2002 can't connect to MySQL server through socket '/var/mysql/mysql.sock'

I was following this adobe article (
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/php_macintosh.html)
to set up PHP and MySQL and connect a MySQL database to dreamweaver
in Mac OS 10.4.8 and I kept getting:
"Can't connect to MySQL server through socket
'/var/mysql/mysql.sock' ERROR#: 2002".
After a lot of searching I came across
this
article which said that there was an error in the PHP and MySQL
connection or something.
Anyway all I had to do was type (in a TERMINAL window):
$ sudo mkdir /var/mysql
$ sudo ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/mysql/mysql.sock
and that fixed the problem, otherwise the adobe article
worked very well.
Check out the "this article" link to get the fix straight

Can't connect to my VPN server from the WAN addres...

I've setup a PPTP VPN server on a Raspberry Pi, so that I can connect to it when out and about and avoid having my android internet use sniffed by random public wi-fi hotspots.
It seems to be working as I setup a Windows 7 connection to it using the LAN address (192.168.1.85) and that connected fine but I can't get it to work through the BT HH3 via the WAN address. I've forwarded port 1723 to 192.168.1.85 and tried disabling the firewall, enabling port clamping and putting the RPi in the DMZ, none of which made any difference.
Is anyone able to help please?

Did some testing from my parents house yesterday and whilst connected to their router (Virgin Media) and/or a local BTWiFi hotspot (I can't honestly remember if I tried both or if I only tested with one or the other), I was able to connect to the VPN Server from my phone.
I can also connect from my home PC using Putty to the VPN Server on SSH (port 22) with that forwarded in the router using the WAN address, so NAT travesal doesn't seem to be an issue.
Yet I still can't connect to the VPN Server from home, whether connected to my HH3 or a local BTWiFI-with-FON hotspot, using the WAN address, only the LAN address, which doesn't make any sense to me.
I don't think it's relevant to this problem but I want to ask a question about the router firewall as the description for Default (which is what I have enabled) says "Allow all outgoing connections and block all unsolicited incoming traffic. Games and application sharing is allowed." but it doesn't appear to block unsolicited incoming traffic as otherwise I don't think I'd have been able to connect to the VPN Server from my parent's house, or on SSH from my PC using the WAN address. So is the description incorrect?

"Safari can't connect to the proxy server"

Hello again...
My 10.6 Server is up and running! thanks for all the help...however...
When I try to access the internet via Safari from the actual server, I get the "Safari can't connect to the proxy server" message" but all the client machines can successfully access the internet....
I'll start to read up on proxies but if someone can offer a suggestion in the meantime, that would be terrific. I know it's something simple I am missing...
thanks!

No snarkiness taken Mr. Hoffman...As a full-time high school teacher, I've been setting up our small school server on my own time for the past three months...with the help of the server docs, manuals, and the great help found within this forum, we are finally to a point where we can begin using the server.
What I'm just not understanding is WHAT proxy do I use? I see all kinds of proxy servers out there but is there a specific one I should be using?
Again, forgive me for my ignorance on this matter...I just don't understand why after a year of not using a proxy server, all of a sudden we need to have one? And this issue came about when Safari was unable to "connect to the proxy server"...

When IT folks (or parents) are looking to monitor or control or track network access.
up to this point I don't believe we were using a proxy server?
2) A proxy "regulates" what traffic is passed between machines?
A proxy can enforce access, or can cache access, yes.
So no proxy in effect means traffic goes unchecked between computers...?
Correct.
do we HAVE to use a proxy server with the server?
3) Where does a proxy take effect? At the Router/Gateway? The Server? or >individual machines?
A functional proxy requires a proxy server, and settings at the firewall, and >on the client box.
The proxy setting can be established via WGM, or locally via the system >preferences, or (and the following are less common) via malware or such, or due >to a bug. These settings are usually altered with WGM and system preferences, >in the vast majority of cases.
Enabling a proxy server on the snow leopard server should help us out...but again, which address do I use? (in the server doc you referenced, it had "proxyserver.apple.com:8080")but I think that was just the format to use...
Without intending any snark, read the manuals? Servers are big and complex >and expect an understanding of much more than the client boxes do; that's the >inherent difference between "server computing" and "client computing", after >all.
I'm definitely appreciating how much involvement and understanding it takes to get one of these set up...and over the past three months, we've come a long way...
again, thanks for the guidance and help!

If you logon to the console with a user, only that user is permitted to "send" the display to the screen. If you do an "su - ora<sid>" that user must be enable to do so too.
- logon as root
- open a terminal windows (a new one)
- execute "xhost +"
- use another terminal window
- execute "su - ora<sid>"
- execute "setenv DISPLAY <ip>:<port>"
- then execute ./RUNINSTALLER in the SAP subdirectory of Disk1 (NOT runInstaller)
