Being a newbie has its challenges...
Before going any further on the answers to my earlier post, I thought
I should walk through the setup process once more.
I set up a new app. I can load the "it worked!" page using a browser
on the localhost with "runserver". When I ran the "manage.py syncdb"
method as part of walking through the project setup process, it threw
an exception, see traceback below.
The server is running mysql, I use phpMyAdmin and a couple of other
applications successfully with it.
There is an existing database of the same name as the new django
project.
I didn't find anything interesting in the logs, but then the django
logs are empty at the moment.
I did not find a file at "/tmp/mysql.sock"
I found some references to the 2002 error but they seemed to be
problems of whether mysql was running or installed.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
