MYSQL Errors on install

I just Bitnami’s Wordpress installed onto Ubuntu 8.10, and I get this error message:

“Error running /home/martin/wordpress/gsb/mysql/scripts/myscript.sh /home/martin/wordpress/gsb/mysql Jchr1stl1v3s : ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ’/home/martin/wordpress/gsb/mysql/tmp/mysql.sock’ (2)
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ’/home/martin/wordpress/gsb/mysql/tmp/mysql.sock’ (2)
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ’/home/martin/wordpress/gsb/mysql/tmp/mysql.sock’ (2)”

Any thoughts?

Launching Bitnami, I get the initial page load fine (http://127.0.0.1:8080/), but when I try the actual local wordpress blog, I get:

“Error establishing a database connection”

Hi Martin,

It is strange, it seems that MySQL database can not start. Could you post any error in the mysql log file?

Thanks.

Here’s the output:

Hi,

We can not reproduce this issue. Are you installing as “root” or as regular user? Do you have any other MySQL database installed? Could you check the permissions of /home/martin folder?

Thanks.

I’ll check the permissions and such, but what’s the uninstall process? I’ll start from scratch, manually selecting a port and such.

Sorry, had a brainfart. I’ve removed the install directory, and will try again…

Same error message on install. I selected the option to abort… I’ll just manually add a virtualhost to my existing local apache server. Thanks anyway!

Sorry but we can not reproduce this bug. Some people on MySQL forum have the same issue but I can not see any related case: http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?11,51024,51024#msg-51024

Cheers.
