yes the second command returns this

ok doforumda, that's enough... I want to make it sure, can you check, the
sudo ls -l /opt/lampp/etc/my.cnf
or
sudo ls -l /opt/lampp/etc/mysql/my.cnf
?
If one of them is there, let's take a look with gedit, for the
socket = /something
part?

Dii · wrote on 12 Oct 2010, 11:48

ok, then
sudo gedit /opt/lamp/etc/my.cnf

look for the socket = something line

lyuts · wrote on 12 Oct 2010, 11:49

¤ Dii ¤, maybe this would be easier?

@sudo find /opt/lampp -name my.cnf -type f | xargs grep -n socket@

doforumda · wrote on 12 Oct 2010, 11:52

Dii: i use this command sudo gedit /opt/lamp/etc/my.cnf but unfortunately the file is empty. there is nothing in it.

lyut: your command sudo find /opt/lampp -name my.cnf -type f | xargs grep -n socket

displays this
@
root@zafar-laptop:/# sudo find /opt/lampp -name my.cnf -type f | xargs
/opt/lampp/etc/my.cnf

sorry wait

Dii · wrote on 12 Oct 2010, 11:55

lyuts: yes it should be easier...

doforumda: i misstyped the command, try this:
sudo gedit /opt/lampp/etc/my.cnf

doforumda · wrote on 12 Oct 2010, 11:55

lyut: your command sudo find /opt/lampp -name my.cnf -type f | xargs grep -n socket actually displays this. above one was wrong because i use the wrong command

@
root@zafar-laptop:/# sudo find /opt/lampp -name my.cnf -type f | xargs grep -n socket

28:socket = /opt/lampp/var/mysql/mysql.sock

lyut: sudo gedit /opt/lampp/etc/my.cnf this command does open my.cnf and it also have

socket = /opt/lampp/var/mysql/mysql.sock

in two lines means there are two entries for socket in my.cnf

lyuts · wrote on 12 Oct 2010, 12:10

I think this is rather rough solution, but worth trying:

@sudo mkdir -p /var/run/mysqld
sudo ln -s /opt/lampp/var/mysql/mysql.sock /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock@

doforumda · wrote on 12 Oct 2010, 12:10

so what next i think here the path for socket is correct because i have one mysql.sock file in that exactly same directory

doforumda · wrote on 12 Oct 2010, 12:13

you mean i should create a dir at opt/lampp/var/run/mysqld ????

doforumda · wrote on 12 Oct 2010, 12:20

millions of thanks to both of you TYUT and Dii. it works. one more question can please tell me what does this command do
@
sudo ln -s /opt/lampp/var/mysql/mysql.sock /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
@

and also if i want to install everything from scratch then once i have to use this command to make it work?

Dii · wrote on 12 Oct 2010, 12:28

doforumda: the problem was ~small... the Qt mysql driver looks for the socket file (the connection to mysql) in the default location (var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock), though you had it somewhere else, because your lampp package changed the path.

The "ln -s" made a symbolic link to that, so the /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock point to the /opt/lampp/var/mysql/mysql.sock. This way Qt can find it. If you do a new installation, with lampp, you should do it again, if you use the regular mysql package, probably, you won't face this problem.

lyuts: great work, we deserve these points :)
