Hi all im t rying to run this web application called vtigerCRM, I run the script that starts it all up, but I get this error:
Starting apache at port 81
MySQL home: /vtiger/vtigerCRM4_2/mysql
Checking whether the MySQL server is already running
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/vtiger//vtigerCRM4_2/mysql/mysql.socket' (2)
Mysql Server is not running. Going to start the mysql server at port 3308
rm: cannot remove `/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid': Permission denied
./bin/mysqld_safe: line 281: /var/log/mysqld.log: Permission denied
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/vtiger//vtigerCRM4_2/mysql/mysql.socket' (2)
****************************************************************************
Unable to start the mysql server. Check whether the port 3308 is free
Any ideas? seems a bit straight forward
