To access MySQL db from terminal it is necessary to give its root password

Since i forgot its root password, i ended up with the following error

Error:

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘root’@'localhost’

(using password: NO)

Then i followed the below steps to reset it

Steps:

1. [root@venus ~]# service mysqld stop

Stopping mysqld: [ OK ]

2. [root@venus ~]# mysqld_safe –skip-grant-tables & [1] 3735

3. [root@venus ~]# 110809 10:43:22 mysqld_safe Logging to ‘/var/log/mysqld.log’. 110809 10:43:22 mysqld_safe

That’s it

Now i am able to access MySQL prompt from the terminal

I am running on Fedora 14

Here i posted the error and its solution

Error:

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’ (2)

Solution:

To solve the above error, it is necessary to start The MySQL Server – mysqld 

Start MySQL server:

As a root user, start the mysql server

service mysqld start

Stop MySQL server:

As a root user, stop the mysql server

service mysqld stop

Note: The file mysql.sock is automatically created when the MySQL server ( mysqld ) runs, otherwise it is not.

To check it, did a bit surfing and confirmed with GNOME.

You can verify it using gui or terminal

Using GUI:

On Fedora, form the top panel click on  System -> About this Computer. Now you can see GNOME or KDE with its version number

On Ubuntu, you can find directly as System -> About GNOME or System -> About KDE

Using Terminal:

Type the following command in the terminal.

echo $DESKTOP_SESSION 

You can see the output as gnome (if gnome present) or kde (if kde present)

Today when i was working with helper methods for a ruby on rails project, i faced a problem of not rendering HTML tags in View

Instead it rendered as a String.

For example, the actual scenario is,

I had the following code in helper module

def show_list(num, page=nil)
..........
..........
content = []
for i in collection
content << "<li> #{i.name} </li>"
end
.........
.........
end

Inside view when i called this method

<%=  show_list(25) %>

I got the output as a string, “<li>actual data goes here</li>”, not interpreting the HTML tags

Then after surfing for nearly a couple of hours, i came to know that its a wrong way of calling the method in View

The right way  is to prefix the method using raw helper method

Correct way

<%= raw show_list(25) %>

Now the view displays the data as a list item

rake db:create

for a rails project, i faced the following error

Error:

rake aborted!
undefined method `task’ for #<Pagescroll::Application:0xb74dcb0c>

(See full trace by running task with –trace)

To solve it,  i followed the  below steps which i found while surfing

The issue is because of the version of rake

Steps:

1. gem uninstall rake -v 0.9

2. gem install rake -v 0.8.7

3. Edit the Gemfile and add

i. gem ‘rake’, ’0.8.7′

4. bundle update

Now when i gave

rake db:create

It works

Today i cloned a repo from github.

When i executed the application i faced  the following mysql error

Mysql2::Error

Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/tmp/mysql.sock’ (2)

Then after googling, i came to know that we need to change the path ( must give the correct path of mysql.sock )  of a socket attribute in config/database.yml

To know its path, i just gave the following command

[rajee@localhost ~]$ locate mysql.sock

/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

Now the socket attribute path is changed as socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

This path must also be changed in test, production in config/database.yml

Hope this helps for someone

Inorder to get away from this error, just update the bundler by running the following command

sudo gem install bundler

Now bundle install will work

Example Code:

 <html>
 <body>
 <p style="display:inline">This paragraph is continued </p>
 <p style="display:inline">without line break because of <b>display-inline</b> property</p>
 </body>
 </html>

If you run the above code, you wont see any line breaks between the first and second <p> tags
