dear mySQL mac guru,
#2002 - Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/tmp/mysql.sock’ (2) via the terminal
plus, a 2003 thur phpMyAdmin. I’m running OS 10.3.8 MySQL 4.1.12 Darwin 7.9.0 phpMyAdmin 2.6.2-pl1 php 5.04 on a 12" powerbook g4 1.33 ghz 756 RAM.
My socket file is in the right place: /tmp/mysql.sock. And I have tried this method:
cd /usr/local/mysql;
sudo echo
sudo ./bin/mysqld_safe &
in the terminal.
I also somtimes get mysqld ended when I try to start up the DB server with the safe_mysqld. However I can’t find the .err file(s) to figure out exactly what’s going wrong. (Yes I have tinker tool so I can look at invis files).
I’ve look on Entropy.ch start-up MySQL install instructions, followed those to the t. I’ve also tried sifting thru some of MYSQL sites help… but I am a total noob to this and alot of it is over my head ( i don’t know Unix commands very well either).
I’ve just been pulling my hair out last few days trying to figure out whats wrong.
Any insight would be appreciated. (post on entropy.ch forum as well)
