Hi there,

I am facing a problem related to execution of MySQL on Fedora 8
operating system. When I try to execute mysql command in BASH
terminal, I get following error:

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through
socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

Please help me to fix it.

Thanks in advance
Manu

First thing to check is to see if MySQL is even running.
