That's what you get if mysqld isn't running.  Perhaps you neglected to
install or start the mysql server?

Comment 2 John Thacker 2006-10-29 22:03:20 UTC

Closing per lack of response to previous request for information.  Note that FC3
and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security fixes only.  Please install
a still supported version and retest.  If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6,
please reopen and assign to the correct version.  Otherwise, if this a security
issue, please change the product to Fedora Legacy.  Thanks, and we are sorry
that we did not get to this bug earlier.
