... If our server has to be restarted for any reason, then the rpm of MySQL that we installed stops working (amongst other things, the socket seems to disappear off the server!). So, each time the server is restarted (not very often thankfully), we have to reinstall MySQL. Anyone hazard a guess why it's doing this? It is not completely unimaginable that a communication socket goes away when the server is shut down.
It should be created again when the server restarts. If not, try a newer version of MySQL. If this is impossible, there are easier ways to create a socket (mknode) than reinstalling the rpm. Dieter
