The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

MySQL ERROR 2002 Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock (111)

Asked by teustace in MySQL Server

Tags: mysql, connect, server, local, socket

Dear Someone, Urgent help!

I have had this error message come up all day and night and I'm at my wits end. I have trawled the web and it seems alot of other people have had the same problem but I still haven't been able to fix it.

I have recently installed Redhat8 with MySQL. I realise MySQL server is not running but I don't know what to do. I can run the mysql_install_db but that is all. I set a group called mysql and user as mysql. I have tried to create a mysql.sock by the touch command to the tmp directory.

I am only using the database for a PHP website for a school assignment so I'm not too bothered about security. I have allocated alot of points to someone who can kindly help me to get this damn thing solved so I can move off groundlevel. I'll give half the points if I'm not successful but realise I'm really useless.

Yours gratefully Teddy Useless
