I have been trying to install a little development environment on my laptop using MacPorts and everything works perfect except for MySQL 5. It installs and says it works but anytime I try to send it or anything related to it a command I get this error “Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock’”.
Online I have read that it means the MySQL is not running, which would make sense because I think I am sending it the command to start the server after having it create the base databases it needs. I can run the “/opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/mysql_install_db” no problem, but when I try to do the next step that MySQL tells me or any I find online it throws that error.
Any help or pointers would be amazing, thank you!
