Version 4.0.26 (on Mandriva2006). That is I have to get it started with /usr/share/mysql/mysql.server start &. I am told, starting mysql server and I get OK in green. However, when I try to use it with 'mysql' I am told ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) and indeed there is no mysql.sock file anywhere on the computer. There are also no files named 'my.cfg' either. So you can see why I gave up for the moment. > > OpenOffice Base - I still can't fathom out how to download and install > > it for a test.
