You have to start your mysqld.

If your mysqld is not running you will get a
missing mysql.sock file error.

Maybe your user name to login to mysql in not correct. MySql has a default user name. Unix
and MySql have nothing to do with each others
user names.

Without proper user name login, I get this:

-------------------------------------
# bin/safe_mysqld --log &
1168
# chown: unknown user id mysql
Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/mysql-3.23.52/data
020926 22:24:22 mysqld ended


# bin/mysqladmin version
bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' exists!
---------------------------------------------

Try something like:

shell> bin/safe_mysqld -u user_name &

Where user_name is your MySql login name.

To see if mysqld is running type:

Shell> bin/mysqladmin version

You should see something like:

NAME
mysql2dlf - convert mysql logfiles to dlf format SYNOPSIS
mysql2dlf DESCRIPTION
mysql2dlf converts a MySQL query log file to DLF format. Information on MySQL can be found on http://www.mysql.org/. The query log file is defined by the --log[=file] option of mysqld, or the log=file setting in MySQL configuration file. Such a log file looks like e.g. /usr/sbin/mysqld, Version: 3.23.43-debug-log, started with: Tcp port: 3306 Unix socket: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock Time Id Command Argument 011218 15:02:58 1 Connect root@localhost on 1 Query SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'pid_file' 1 Shutdown 011226 21:35:59 6 Connect joe@localhost on 6 Init DB nmrshiftdb 6 Query SHOW VARIABLES or 42401 Query SELECT bannerID, banner, format, width, height, alt, url FROM banners WHERE act = 'true' AND (keyw = 'fullsize' OR keyw = 'global') The generic database dlf format is described in database.xml. EXAMPLES
To process a log as produced by MySQL: $ mysql2dlf < mysql-log mysql2dlf will be rarely used on its own, but is more likely called by lr_log2report: $ lr_log2report mysql < /var/log/mysql-log NOTES
The parser has been tested for query log files for MySQL 3.23.46 only. BUGS
This converter stores all log files information in one big nested array in memory, before writing. Therefore, memory consumption is linear with the size of the log. SEE ALSO
