Re: [Karsten] mysql.sock / mysql user

You shouldn't run mysql as root.

Normally the installation process creates a mysql user. You should run mysqld as that user.

You start the daemon from your root account though. Normally with:

safe_mysqld &

You can add a startup script into /etc/rc.d/init.d
