light on this error? I don't see anything like mysql.sock and can't locate
it on my drives. How does one check if mysqld is running. I assume it isn't
because I have yet to enter the root password and start things up.
I assume password in the above is my admin password and new_password is
whatever I want the mySQL_root password to be.
ps -aux | grep mysqld
to check. If not, try
/sw/bin/safe_mysqld &
to start the daemon. If you want it to start at every bootup, do
sudo daemonic enable mysql
provided you have daemonic installed (I think it's a depend of mysql, so you should). Once you see /sw/sbin/mysqld in the output of ps -aux, the socket should be there and the command you had trouble with should work.
