Hey, I installed the FC3 on a new pc ,did not install the mysql 3.23 with the FC3 instead downloaded the rpms from the site check their MD5 and then install it. Run the mysql_fix_priviledges_tables.sql script .Then tried to run phpmyadmin2.6.2 but I am getting the same error #2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured) The output of /var/log/mysqld.log is : 050503 17:49:20 mysqld started 050503 17:49:20 [Warning] Asked for 196608 thread stack, but got 126976 InnoDB: The first specified data file ./ibdata1 did not exist: InnoDB: a new database to be created! 050503 17:49:20 InnoDB: Setting file ./ibdata1 size to 10 MB InnoDB: Database physically writes the file full: wait... 050503 17:49:22 InnoDB: Log file ./ib_logfile0 did not exist: new to be created InnoDB: Setting log file ./ib_logfile0 size to 5 MB InnoDB: Database physically writes the file full: wait... 050503 17:49:22 InnoDB: Log file ./ib_logfile1 did not exist: new to be created InnoDB: Setting log file ./ib_logfile1 size to 5 MB InnoDB: Database physically writes the file full: wait...
