Re: [support] 2002 error

Hi AjK,

I named my database "drupal".

So in the first example, the command would be mysql -u xclnews -p xclnews-drupal -D drupal< \ /big/dom/xclnews/www/drupal/database/database.4.0.mysql

Is this what you suggest?

What does the -D signify?

thanks, Tony

mysql -u xclnews -p xclnews-drupal < /big/dom/xclnews/www/drupal/database/database4.0.mysql

Then I get a request for password, enter password and then I get a "2002 error, can't connect to local mysql server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' "

Any help PLEASE

Missing database name: try this for unix sockets:- [Replace "xclnews_db" with your database name]

mysql -u xclnews -p xclnews-drupal -D xclnews_db < \ /big/dom/xclnews/www/drupal/database/database4.0.mysql

or this for TCP connect:-

mysql -u xclnews -p xclnews-drupal -h 127.0.0.1 -P 3306 -D xclnews_db < \ /big/dom/xclnews/www/drupal/database/database4.0.mysql
