I install JasperServer Pro to our development server in Linux. Now JasperServer is up and I am able to login to the home page and view repository, etc. However, when I try to login to mysql in the server to create a development database there, I encounter the following error: [root@sfotrkdev mysql]# mysql -uroot -p Enter password: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) [root@sfotrkdev mysql]# mysql -u jasperdb -p Enter password: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) As you see, I can't login to MYSQL database using either “root” or “jasperdb” users. I use “password” as their password. But the "mysqld" process is up. See below: [root@sfotrkdev mysql]# ps -ef | grep mysqld root 14789 1 0 10:58 pts/0 00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/jasperserver-pro-3.0/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe --port=3306 --socket=/usr/jasperserver-pro-3.0/mysql/tmp/mysql.sock --old-passwords --datadir=/usr/jasperserver-pro-3.0/mysql/data --log-error=/usr/jasperserver-pro-3.0/mysql/data/mysqld.log --pid-file=/usr/jasperserver-pro-3.0/mysql/data/mysqld.pid --default-table-type=InnoDB mysql 14827 14789 0 10:58 pts/0 00:00:00 /usr/jasperserver-pro-3.0/mysql/bin/mysqld --basedir=/usr/jasperserver-pro-3.0/mysql --datadir=/usr/jasperserver-pro-3.0/mysql/data --user=mysql --pid-file=/usr/jasperserver-pro-3.0/mysql/data/mysqld.pid --skip-locking --port=3306 --socket=/usr/jasperserver-pro-3.0/mysql/tmp/mysql.sock --old-passwords --default-table-type=InnoDB root 15351 14495 0 15:05 pts/0 00:00:00 grep mysqld [root@sfotrkdev mysql]# which mysql /usr/jasperserver-pro-3.0/mysql/bin/mysql Do you know what I did wrong? Can anybody confirm that the "root" password is "password" in the buddled MYSQL? Your quick reply is appreciated.
