Hi, Perhaps an ignorant question:) ..... I installed wine, and I can run Notepad.exe fine (which I copied from my Windows XP machine). When I click open files in Notepad, it shows a c:\ directory containing Windows and Program Files directories. Than I installed Flash 4 successfully (mounted and installed through Samba). Afterwards , I cannot start the application by typing 'wine Flash.exe' in the command prompt. It gives an error 'wine: cannot find 'Flash4.exe' ' So my question is: where are the wine installation files located, and how can start applications from the prompt? kind regards Patrick [moved from Software by spinynorman]

O.k, this is the trick: do: run mysql setup as root 1)mysql_install_db 2)chown -R mysql.mysql /var/lib/mysql that's it really

I tried it, but nothing either... The mysql directory and files now have all the permissions.... I reinstalled the whole distro again, and still have the same trouble, really I can't be the only one with this problem. Is there a checklist to see which service/configuration is setup incorrectly/correctly?

I tried that. I was wondering; It seems I have both mysql and mysql-max, since when I type 'service mysql status' I see: mysqld is stopped mysqld-max is stopped Does this matter?

Hi, I tried to look everywhere for this problem for over a week but I guess I should have visited the mandrake forum earlier, anyhow. I installed Mandrake 9.1, and everything works fine, except mysql I can run webadmin, php pages, Apache etc, except php pages that interact with mysql. When I call a php page with mysql I get an error saying:Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13) I uninstalled, and reinstalled the packages but that didnt work. When I type >"start mysql" I get the same message. However, when I type "service mysql start" it says started [ok], but mysql didnt start at all when I checked to see by typing:" ps -e | grep mysql". Also when I type service mysql status I see: mysqld is stopped mysqld-max is stopped There is a mysql.sock file located, both at /var/lib/mysql/ and /tmp (just to make sure)/ I dont know where to look next; Help very appreciated greetings Patrick
