Missing /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock file

Question

I\'m trying to access mysql and when I run the mysql command, I get the following.

ERR

Answer 1

just search for mysqld, this is the server daemon:

find / | grep mysqld

If you found it, the server package may be correctly installed but without initd scripts. For testing, you may start the mysql server by hand executing the above file.
