KDE-Forum.org

What is /tmp/kde-<username> and how is it created?
For example, there is /tmp/kde-root/
This directory contains log files from Konqueror crashes and 2 other files, ksycoca and ksycocastamp.

I need to know because I am attempting to run mysqlnavigator
I had installed the rpm on RedHat 9.
Instructions (http://sql.kldp.org/mysql/doc/mysqlnavigator.htm ) say to find mysql.sock, which i find in /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

Then instructions say to type:
#ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/kde-msyql/ksycoca
but I do not have /tmp/kde-msyql/ksycoca, I have only /tmp/kde-root/ksycoca

i tried this but it doesnt do anything
#ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/kde-root/ksycoca
ln: `/tmp/kde-root/ksycoca': File exists

The db is running and i have create group:user mysql:mysql

I tried creating /tmp/kde-mysql/ myself , but get the same result as with /kde-root/

hmmm...i created the group:user mysql:mysql via command line in a bash shell. So i guess kde doesn't know about this group:user If I add a group:user mysql:mysql in KDE, will this be distinct from the first group:user i created?

oh, now i understand...thanks

How does ksycoca get created?
i have a /tmp/.kde-mysql/ directory, but it doesn't have the file ksycoca
