MySQL 2002 error in Fedora Core 2 - RavenManor - 2004-11-05

In my situation, I already had the mysqld running. To find this I ran:

Code:
user@localhost>ps ax | grep mysqld

If the mysql daemon is running then you must kill it. The best way to do this is:

Code:
user@localhost>killall -g mysqld

Next you will need to remove mysql. If you installed mysql-source you can go to the directory you installed from and issue:

Code:
user@localhost>make uninstall

Then MySQL should install great.

If this didn't fix your problem there are some other options. Check out:
