Hello everybody. I've got a problem with linux counter strike servers - when i try to use mysql on any server - i got this error:

Message: Can't Connect To local Mysql Server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) (2002)

Anyone can tell me how i can change the directory of this socket, and how i can set the apache's socket work on the new socket directory?

Thanks, and sorry for bad English.. xD

look for mysql.sock and create a symlink in /tmp
you can find the path for mysql.sock in my.cnf

you should provide more info on your configuration like
distro , version , architecture
mysql installed , started

[Scherzo]

Try other form of ip like:
127.0.0.1
localhost
192.168.0.x

finally public server ip (if available)

Hi again. I use last version of Debian. i installed mysql using this command:

sudo apt-get install mysql-server libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql

In every reinstall of linux i got this problem with mysql, and now im determined to fix it.

My configuration in my.cfg file have default settings:

# # The MySQL database server configuration file. # # You can copy this to one of: # - "/etc/mysql/my.cnf" to set global options, # - "~/.my.cnf" to set user-specific options. # # One can use all long options that the program supports. # Run program with --help to get a list of available options and with # --print-defaults to see which it would actually understand and use. # # For explanations see # http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/se...variables.html # This will be passed to all mysql clients # It has been reported that passwords should be enclosed with ticks/quotes # escpecially if they contain "#" chars... # Remember to edit /etc/mysql/debian.cnf when changing the socket location.

Thanks again, and i will ask to tell me anythink ...

In my.cnf i see very much fields with "Socket" and they are all in /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock (noone with mysql.sock)

When i try to do this command "sudo ln-s /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock /tmp/mysql.sock file was changed to new dir, but again server cant connect with the socket (again this problem :X)

Edit: I can public server ip, but it will be advertising. If u wanna to see anythink in the server about this problem pm me to give u the IP

This forum is for issues with AMX MOD X, so post your problem in the correct forum.

[alexinno]

is your hlds server on the same machine with the mysql server ?
what's the output of the command

netstat -npl | grep mysql

what is the contents of sql.cfg (without password) ?
if you have

amx_sql_host    "localhost"

that's most likely the problem , it should be

amx_sql_host    "127.0.0.1"

but the simlynk should also have solved your problem

ln -s /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock /tmp/mysql.sock

Where do i find those commands alxinno? I got the same problem as blackpearl.

[jonnzus]

Imo that does mean that ur plugin cant find ur mysql server.

Message: Can't Connect To local Mysql Server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) (2002)

Type that to terminal, and look is mysql server running.
sudo service mysql status
if it ain't running u can start it with
sudo service mysql start

And put those commands to terminal.

[Rockinz]

Got this respond: You will need to setup the sql database on an alternative host. It can not be running on the game server it self.

How do I do that ?
