I am trying to install this application named socialengine and all is going well except on the mysql screen i keep getting this error
The MySQL storage engine is not installed.
I notice my sock file is here
mysqld --verbose --help | grep ^socket
110602 10:06:06 [Note] Plugin 'FEDERATED' is disabled.
socket /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
So it appears to be running
So reading online i thought i can resolve this by adding this to my vim /etc/mysql/my.cnf file
[client]
port = 3306
socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
[mysqld_safe]
socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
nice = 0
[mysqld]
key_buffer = 224M
sort_buffer_size = 4M
read_buffer_size = 4M
read_rnd_buffer_size = 4M
myisam_sort_buffer_size = 12M
query_cache_size = 44M
default-storage-engine=innodb
basically I added the last line and then
service mysql restart
but what happens is after i restart I now get this error that cant find my sock
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
what happen....and how do i address this
Update after running
ps axf | grep [m]ysql
5056 ? S 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking
5189 ? Sl 3:57 \_ /usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --user=mysql --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking --pid-file=/var/lib/mysql/li317-112.pid --socket=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock --port=3306
