CentOS 64bit 下安装Mysql--解决Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket＂问题

现象：

安装完Mysql后，启动时会出现以下错误：

Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock'

原因： 用上面的方式安装后/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock根本不存在。

解决方法：正确的安装方式如下：

--Check whether mysql has been installed

yum list installed | grep mysql

yum list installed | grep MySQL

--yum -y remove ..... ex:

yum -y remove MySQL-server

yum -y remove? MySQL-client-5.5.13-1.rhel5.x86_64

?

--Install command:

yum search mysql

yum -y install mysql-server.x86_64

/usr/bin/mysql_install_db

?

--Start mysqld service

service mysqld start

service mysqld
