hrm ok i think i don't get it on my own...

when i enter "mysql" in a command line it tells me

Can't connect to local MySQL Server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

i have no idea what this mysqld.sock is, but i created such a file in /var/.... and retried:

Can't connect to local MySQL Server through socked '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (111)

so only the number in the end has changed at all...

what can i do? apache is running, and php is working, too... :-/

thanks for help!
