Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

that would be an alltime problempost, but i have a very big problem with it... While i am a newbie with Linux, it is much harder for me to fix it:

Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
this is the Error posted by the System when i try to start the mysql-server (/etc/init.d/mysql start)

i cant find any mysql.sock on my system... is there a command for searching all directories for one file? like the dos "dir /s" command?

can someone please help me with this problem?

thanks and kind regards

Schmorli

Send a message via ICQ to dhouston
find / -name mysql.sock

You can replace "/" with any path, such as "." or "/usr".
