ok,that is a gr8 news for me,but i have to report this to u,i was still looking into the issue in internet and i tryed a command line the 1 with mysqlverbosehelp and what i seen there is that the configuraton should be into /var/run/mysql/ folder where it should be 2 files at least,like my.cnf and mysql.sock,or something like that,what i found on my pc is that those files don't exist there and not just those 2 files,not even the folder,no wander (i think) that i get this errors coming from that path,i hope this helps
