NOTE: When installing on a Redhat Linux server where the MySQL server is running locally on the same server, you must complete one of the following procedures:

1Create a symbolic link using the following command:

ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

2Or, make the following change in the /etc/my.cnf file: socket=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

and then restart the MySQL server.

Without one of these modifications, the sampleloop logs the following error:

2010-03-09 12:54:01: Could not connect to database: mysqlconnect/db

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