[Serusers] Can't connect to local MySQL server

[Pali Majernik]

Hi,


   I installed SER exactly following INSTALL guide. I am running
on the same machine MySQL 4.0.20 and I successfuly initialised
ser database. After running ser by "serctl start" I got message:

Starting SER : cat: /var/run/ser.pid: No such file or directory
started pid ()
~#

   Of course ser is not running.

In syslog I can see messages:

ser: WARNING: could not rev. resolve 10.0.0.8
/usr/sbin/ser[579]: connect_db(): Can't connect to local MySQL server \
     through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
/usr/sbin/ser[579]: db_init(): Error while trying to connect database
/usr/sbin/ser[579]: mod_init(): Error while connecting database
/usr/sbin/ser[579]: init_mod(): Error while initializing module usrloc

The IP 10.0.0.8 is address of PC where I'm running this SER and MySQL.


   Any hint/idea?
