remembering that you''re running Fedora...

is mysqld service running?

service mysqld status

can you connect via command line as the user/password in
config/database.yml ?

mysql -U $USER_IN_DATABSE.YML -p

that means it''s not running (at least to me)

try ''service mysqld restart''

and see if it stays started and if you then can connect as below

that would seem to be your problem...logs are your friend

take a look at /var/log/mysqld.log

Re: [Rails] Re: [Rails] Re: error connecting to mysq

you must have done something untoward...

try these commands as root

service mysqld stop
rm /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
service mysqld start

and see if it stays running

Re: [Rails] Re: [Rails] Re: error connecting to mysq

I would like to see your my.cnf... Just remember that MySQL looks for
the file in these locations:

/etc/my.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf /usr/local/mysql/etc/my.cnf ~/.my.cnf

In that order...

But looking at your log file I think this is your issue:

080903 22:26:42 [ERROR] Can''t start server : Bind on unix socket:
Permission denied

no - if you have no data to speak of in mysql, it may be useful to
delete it all and start over.

but first - since you don''t seem eager to look back, I''ll ask
one last
time...

what is output of

ls -ld /var/lib/mysql
ls -l /var/lib/mysql

Mysqld not starting on fedora

How did you install Mysql? since it looks like mysqld is not in your
path something is not right....

do you have mysql in your path?

# which mysql

or try to find mysqld with

# find / -name mysqld

and the two ls commands from Craig would be nice too...

maybe you have more than one mysql on this server

just as an fyi to heimdull...

fedora uses /usr/bin/mysqld_safe as it''s daemon and /etc/init.d/mysqld
as the startup script

It does seem possible that he has installed a separate copy of mysql but
if he has, he hasn''t given us any indication of that.

Re: ****[Rails] Mysqld not starting on fedora

Craig:

The mysqld_safe script is just a nanny/startup script that starts the
mysqld (Mysql server) and make sure that this process is running. If
mysqld dies or is killed mysqld_safe will restart that process. By
using the mysqld executable directly you get more output to the screen
that should be helpf

Adolf:

After thinking about this more do you have SELinux running? I have
seen that to be an issue in the past where the mysqld process is
denied access to its .sock file.
