    Hi all,
    Today I will be installing Mysql in the 32-bit system. But there is a problem : ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’ (2)
    For RedHat Linux (Fedora Core/Cent OS)
    do the following:
    1)To start mysql server:

    /etc/init.d/mysqld start

    2)To stop mysql server:

    /etc/init.d/mysqld stop

    3) To restart mysql server

    /etc/init.d/mysqld restart

    Then type mysql and we get a prompt like mysql>
    To quit from mysql type : q

    For Bowtie,
    First Download the Bowtie and after having done that, type ./bowtie in the command prompt.
    Try using one of the commands from Bowtie Manual and it will give an error: “bash:bowtie:command not found”
    To resolve this issue, change the path in the .bashrc(~) file in the home directory, since my bowtie was installed in “Sujata” directory,so we save the path like this:
    1)PATH=$PATH:/root/Sujata/bowtie-0.12.7
    2)export PATH

    For TopHat installations, keep in mind that we need to install Bowtie and Samtools.
    Follow the instructions as given the the url below:
    http://tophat.cbcb.umd.edu/tutorial.html
    But still there might be error. So , a crude way might be a solution, which is, keep all the files of Samtools and TopHat in the same folder and the Bowtie, which has been already installed , specify the path in .bashrc and run the command for tophat.
