I get this: [Mathew-Rices-Computer:~] mat% ps -aux | grep mysqld mat 430 0.0 0.1 1416 308 std S+ 8:12AM 0:00.01 grep mysqld Looks like it's running, no? > to check.

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. Still get the same error: mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' exists! One last thing, in the command 'mysqladmin -u root password new_password' If you do not have a mysql root password already what should you substitute for "password". I tried my admin password. Is that correct? I apologize for the simple questions, but this is all pretty new to me. I also tried 'mysqladmin -u root -p' thinking it would just ask for a password. All I get is a listing of options (switches) for the mysqladmin command. I'm stumped.
