Thanx


MySQL said:  

#2002 - Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

You can modify your settings for socket (=mysql.sock) in file /etc/my.cnf

Hi again, got these error msg when trying to configur webgui, is this related to mysql.

will this stop webgui from working correctly if i proceed with the installation, i have stopped at this point for now.

I got mysql working again, thanks

where can i get these dependencies from, i have been looking everywhere, lol

thanks again, Regards Russell

[root@fixit Perl_webgui]# rpm -Uvh perl-DBD-MySQL-2.1021-3.i386.rpm

error: failed dependencies:
        libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3)   is needed by perl-DBD-MySQL-2.1021-3
[root@fixit Perl_webgui]# libc.so.6(

[root@fixit Perl_webgui]# rpm -Uvh perl-SOAP-Lite-0.60-8.noarch.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        /bin/env   is needed by perl-SOAP-Lite-0.60-8

Try installting perl-DBD-MySQL-2.1017-3.i386.rpm since the later version is compiled for perl 5.8.0 , SME6 has perl 5.6.1

(sorry, looks like my mistake to guide you to wrong version in my HowTO, will fix it at once)

As for perl-SOAP you could simply copy env from /usr/bin to /bin (env is provided by sh-utils) OR install perl-SOAP with --nodeps option
