Problem logging to mysql

Mysql was working fine, but suddenly I got a message "#2002 Cannot log in to the MySQL server"
I looked into mysql documentation and it seems to a socket error.
Any idea how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

which was an excellent article except I got stock when I looked at /etc and could not find sql.sock
But that site is almost two years old. Plus, it was probably old information when it was written. My Apache/PHP/MySQL work just great but I've only done a fraction of what is listed on that page. I think it was correct circa 2007 or so, but I wouldn't follow it today on a 10.6 system.
Unfortunately, at some point about a year ago, maybe earlier, the internet stopped being a source of information and has become a source of misinformation. There is more information that is flat out wrong than there is that is correct. If you aren't a real greybeard computer geek, how can you tell?
I recommend undoing everything you did on that page to get your computer back to its original configuration. I don't have a php.ini nor any my.cnf files. I never work with UNIX configurations from the Finder. I don't trust that Finder tools with set the permissions correctly. I always use the command line and vi. I did enable the PHP modules in the Apache config file, but that is it. There are better ways to setup virtual hosts.
You have already jacked up your system, so you are going to have to do some extra work to get it functional again. We will be glad to help, but you are going to have to learn some additional things on your own. A good place to start is to learn your way around the Console.app program so you can review log files. In the end, you will wind up knowing more about all these tools that the average person and you will have earned that knowledge

  • Active Directory accounts problem logging in to Mavericks

    We have twenty iMacs in a lab and five in an Internet café, all wired to a multiple subnet network. OS X Mavericks is bound to Active Directory.  Frequently OS X Mavericks behaves as if the network user account password is entered incorrectly until the iMac is restarted.  This did not happen when we had Mountain Lion.  We never have problems logging in to Windows computers bound to Active Directory.

  • Error: There was a problem logging on to SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise

    I am trying to use Crystal Reports Enterprise XI 4.0 with BusinessObjects Enterprise 4.0 using a Bex Query on an SAP NetWeaver 7.01 SPS 9 BW system. I have been using the SAP Press book u201CIntegrating SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.x with SAP NetWeaveru201D as my guide, attempting to follow it step by step. Please bear with me as I have only started working with this set of products within the last month. (Very new at this and do not have a very good grounding of the way it all works together. Trying to learn as quickly as possible as I am expected to support this set of tools for our developers / users.)
    I have been trying to follow along with the book to get everything connected. At this point, I have BOE set up to attach to the SAP NetWeaver BW system. I have created a test Bex Query on the BW system. From within BOE, using CMC, I can configure the Bex Query as an OLAP connection. I have set it up for SSO. I have also exchanged certificates between the BOE and the SAP NetWeaver systems which I believe will allow the exchange of tokens.
    I then go into Crystal Reports for Enterprise XI 4.0 on my PC. (I am running Windows 7 64-bit on the PC. I installed the BOE 4.0 suite of client tools except for SAP BO Live Office and SAP BO Analysis for MS Office). I can attach to my BOE system and can browse to see the OLAP connections in the BOE. I then try to select one as the data source for a new report. I then get a pop-up window stating:
       Unable to Logon
         There was a problem logging on to SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise.
           Please check your logon credentials and make sure your network is properly configured before trying again. If the problem 
           persists please contact your Administrator.
    I cannot find a log / trace / error file on my PC, the BOE system or the BW system to indicate any additional information as to what the root problem is. Has anyone seen a similar error and might know where I can find more information, how to increase trace levels so that I get some additional information or provide hints as to what the root problem might be?
    I am also trying to figure out how the authentication works between the PC, BOE and SAP NetWeaver. If using a token, there has to be consistency with the username (or some value) and I am not certain that is happening. Right now, my BOE sources its UME from the SAP NetWeaver BW system. So its user accounts are in the form SID123/ACCOUNT where SID is the SID of the SAP NetWeaver system and the string u201C123u201D is the client on that SID. When I log into the BOE system from within Crystal Reports, I am using the account in that format whereas the account on the SAP NetWeaver BW system in actuality is only the string ACCOUNT. So is the token stripping the string u201CSID123/u201D from the account name when it is sent so that the accounts match? Or do I have to manually configure some kind of account alias (in the BOE system?) so that the two recognize each other? Or something else?
    Any hints or ideas around where I can find additional information or where I have gone wrong, would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank-you in advance,
    Deb Nugent.

    Henry,
    Many thanks and excellent suggestions. But I am still not able to get this to work and (once again) am stuck.
    RE: Server Connections: When I check my server connection, I have not ticked SSL and am using the non-secure server port for my BOE system. When I click on u201CTest connectionu201D, I can successfully log in using my username / password on the SAP NetWeaver BW system. If I tick the SSL box without changing the port, I get the error message u201CFailed to establish a connection. The cause was u201CCannot connect to SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise at this time. Please try again later.u201D If I tick the SSL box and change the port to use the secure server port for the BOE system, I get the same error.
    RE: Preferences: I am using the default settings under Preferences -> Network Settings. We do not manually configure proxy settings on our network so I have ticked u201CUse system proxy configurationu201D and under SSL settings, have ticked u201CUse system keystore / trust storeu201D. I have swapped keys between the BOE system and the SAP NetWeaver system but I have not swapped any keys between my PC and the BOE system or the SAP NetWeaver system (which I do not expect to do but am mentioning here in case I am wrong).
    RE: BILaunchPad: I do not have any references for BILaunchPad. Is this u201CWeb Intelligence Rich Clientu201D? If so, I tried starting it, it reported an error: u201CAn error occurred at session creation.u201D Details showed u201CSSL mode is being requested but the following argument(s) are not present: passphrase (FWM 01012)u201D I went into the CMC and checked my SAP connections under Authentications. On the tab u201COptionsu201D, there is the section u201CSAP SSO Serviceu201D where I typed in the KeyStore password. When I created the key store file, I only specified a keystore password and did not specify a private key. Originally, I had it set with the private key blank with the correct password on the keystore. I also tried entering the same password as the private keystore and saving it. I verified that the connection services for Web Intelligence had restarted but I still am getting that same message when I try to start the Web Intelligence Rich Client.
    At OS level on the BOE server, I logged in as my boe1 account and checked the parameters that can be entered for the PKCS12Tool.jar file that I used to create the ketstore file I had used. There does not appear to be an option for anything other than the keystore password. There is no private key password field listed.
    I searched for the FWM 01012 error and found the HTML and PDF help files form SAP explaining errors. However, it only states u201CEnsure that all SSL arguments are presentu201D but gives no details as to what, exactly needs to be checked.
    I will be talking with co-workers today to see if any of them can make sense of this (anoterh set of eyes sometimes helps). Any other suggestions about areas to look for addiitonal details / increased traces / logs?

    I mean, had you reversed the delivery (T. Code: VL09) and then deleted the items from reversed Delivery Doc (T. Code: VL02N), before deleteing the Delivery Doc?
    Was there any subsequent document for Delivery Doc.?

  • Problem Logging into only one of many computers

    1. I have two desktop computers. One is hard wired to a linksys router and works great. The other desktop that has a problem logging into my email account. See (5) below. 2. First you must know that I also have an apple mac that is connected via the Router and it also works fine running OSX. 3. I have a Dell Laptop running Vista connected via the Router that runs fine. 4. Have another Dell Laptop running Win 7 is connected via the Router that runs fine. 5. I have this desktop running Win XP pro that is my problem. This is how the problem goes: I get to what appears to the correct login page; Type in the correct user and PW info; execute by clicking on the correct button; Nothing happens; I try several other ways; I click on the "signin" box at the extreme top right and nothing happens; I click on another box that ask for my location and a new window appears asking for my addres and zip code. I eventually get to the email. Now at this moment I look at the top of this my current window and I see that my location is shown and I am signed into verizon to write to you. There is a block that reads "signout". What is going on?

    And one more small detail.  After I have this problem there's a crash file in ~Library/Preferences called 'com.apple.iLifeAssetManagement.crqash.plist'.  It's cryptic, but it says:

  • Problems logging in to my iTunes wish list

    I have been having problems logging in to my iTunes wish list, and other sections of iTunes. I keep getting a log-in window and those attempts never work. It appears that it is doing something and then just cycles back to the log in pop-up.  Pages also do not load completely missing artist's additonal albums, songs, or does not load at all.  iTunes Radio will not work either.   I re-installed iTunes, and turned off my firewall.  I tried many different remedies that these forums have recommended, but none have worked so far.  Anyone else have this issue recently?  The previous update to iTunes did not fix the problem either.  Thanks in advance to anyone with a remedy.

    The multiple dots is a simplistic attempt to hide, from someone looking over your shoulder, the number of characters in the password.
    Just eneter your password and ignore what appears in the password field.  If it still does not let you in then yo entered an incorrect password.
    In that case reset to defaults, which you appear to know how to do, and write down the new password when you are prompted for it.

  • As of 3/30 when using the App for Facebook, when I log off of Facebook, it keeps me permanently logged into Facebook. If I use Safari to log into Facebook, I have no problem logging off. Is there a problem with the Facebook App??

    As of 3/30/13, when logging off of Facebook using the Facebook App, it will not log me out. It is now permanently keeping me logged in. No problem logging off of Facebook when I do not use the App. Is there anyone that can tell me why this is happening and what I need to do to Logout of Facebook. I like using the App for Facebook but I also want to be able to log off, I do not like to stay logged in.  Is there something different with the latest Apple software I downloaded a couple of weeks ago, IOS 6.1.3?

    it also could be something different, if you try google hangounts. change password and log out it still recieves notifications. its how apples handles the "channel" notification system for apps that recieve notifications or do backroung sync, and im sure at some point that security hole will be a hijack point.  i think its called XO auth. and is why it can maintain session even after an apperant logout
    if you go to the app and it shows you have logged out but are still recieving notifications then that is evidence of the bug.
    also look and find the option for "keep me logged in" i remember in the past that would allow a autologin after logout. also if the app does NOT save the logout status correctly in its "memory" the above refereced system will auto login you with the XO app authentication.
    if there really is no keep me logged in option. then what crh24 said, they designed it delibertly to keep you logged in. though i never remember a problem on my ios 6,. are you on ios 7, bunny hop?

  • Problem logging into essbase studio in windows 7 -64bit-

    hi everyone
    I have a problem logging into Essbase studio as i have installed Essbase foundation 11.1.3 and Essbase server in windows 7 "64bit" version
    when ever i try to log into Essbase studio it gives me this error

    I hope you can help me with that problem.
    Thanks in advance..

    Hi,
    I dont think Windows 7 is supported OS.
    Go through the support matrix,
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/hyperion-supported-platforms-085957.html
    Having said that, there are ppl who have installtion done on Windows 7 as well.
    I would say, check the services first if they are up and running or not. If yes, then logs should be the first place to visit.

  • Why do I have problems logging in to this site

    I have problems logging into these forums alot of the time. Its not my browser because i've tried on both IE and Firefox and it's not my machine because I use 2 seperate machine, one on a network and the other on dial-up.

    It's not related to Firewall or Virus Scanner settings is it ?
