Hi all
I am a newbie running Slackware 10.2 with KDE desktop
I am trying to setup mythtv, so I am also having to setup mysql.
I don't know anything about databases so I am kind of trying to
(blindly) follow the instructions in the docs & the file
/etc/rc.d/rc.mysqld to get mysql up & running...
My runlevel in /etc/inttab is 4 & this is what I see during startup
*********************
Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql
/usr/sbin/nmbd -D
Starting gpm: /usr/sbin/gpm -m /dev/mouse -t imps2
Starting lirc daemon: lircd & lircmd... Done
Starting Guarddog...
STOPPING server from pid file /var/run/mysql/mysql.pid
060410 18:04:02 mysqld ended
Done
Starting LISa daemon...
Done
Starting up X11 session manager...
This is the LAN Information Server LISa 0.2.3

I am still getting the following error while trying to run mythtv
**********************
QSqlQuery::exec: database not open
QSqlQuery::exec: database not open
2006-04-10 18:18:34.505 DB Error (KickDatabase):
Query was:
SELECT NULL;
No error type from QSqlError? Strange...
2006-04-10 18:18:34.556 Database not open while trying to save setting:
Language
2006-04-10 18:18:34.574 Unable to connect to database!
2006-04-10 18:18:34.574 Driver error was [1/2002]:
QMYSQL3: Unable to connect
Database error was:
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

So what is it that I am doing wrong??
Thanks

BTW I also encountered the following errors while running
mysql at magic-box:~$ mysql_install_db
