And if I ps aux | grep mysql nothing happens and there is not mysql service started in "ps -aux".. any help how to get mysql to start? And what about the /tmp/mysql.sock

Hello Everyone,

I am new to the concept of taxonomy and how to implement it in drupal. I have a general grasp of how it works but I am having a hard time putting one together. I was wondering if anyone had a step by step on how to build a simple, functional taxonomy hierarchy that I go through and understand the concepts better. Any information is appreciated.

Thank you,
Topo

Hi!

I have phpwebthings installed on to my site. (qrd.coolfreepage.com)
PHP_Webthings says:
"Warning: Supplied argument is not valid mysql recourse in blaablaablaa." So, I have to create some tables with PhpMyAdmin.
That is also installed to my site.
But I don't know how to add phpwebthings table?
Can anyone tell me step-by-step instructions? Please..
My missing sql files are webthings.sql and all_tables_mysql.sql

So, HOW CAN I ADD TABLES?!? Please help me.. :P

I try to ./mysqladmin -u name -p password and it get an error.

www# ./mysqladmin -u jay -p 259007316943305
Enter password:
./mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' exists!

So then I think ok, I need to start it...

I'm posting this bug here because I can't get the bug submission forum to accept a new bug. (is this broken? if it's just my stupidity, which is highly likely, I apologize for putting this here)

(I'm also being REALLY annoying by "cross-posting" this here as well as a comment on the "release candidate" news item. Oh well, "desperate times..." and all that)

I just installed Drupal 4.1.0 and I have a few questions:

- The documentation states I need to grant users "create forum topics" but this permission does not exist for me. I have enabled the forum module. I was able to get this to work, but I had to grant users "post content" to allow them to post forum topics - which is a bit too far reaching for my taste.
