But so far as MySQL is concerned it just does not work. I have tried loading it, and reloading it, and I get the same sort of symptom that you refer to (save that I do not get the socket at all).
The cure so far as I was concerned was not to use YAST but to go to the MySQL site and download a RPM file and to install that according to the instructions in the online manual: the socket appeared in the appropriate file.
I asked Suse and they said that this was not something covered by their support program and that I was on my own. Since they are trying to suggest that they are the real replacement for MS this seems to me to be a bit stupid, quite apart from presumably being a bug.
Try to edit /etc/my.cnf & change socket location : |[client] port=3306 socket=/tmp/mysql.sock HTH, but it's strange that suse is not shipped with mySQL working... | -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)
