Thanks Paul, but I've googled my arse off, and have tried what others have recommended:
- setting the socket in my.cnf - touching where the mysqld.sock should be, creating the file and making permissions 775 I've rebooted, restarted, etc. I've not had this problem on a non Tiger Server machine, but on this xserve, it's totally flaky. I'll re-install mysql5 according to someone else's setup, but I really need to know the correct steps for OSX Server -- there's something going on there. > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > > On Apr 7, 2007, at 9:28 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > >> I could really still use some help with mysql5 on Tiger server; no >> matter >> what I do I get: >> >> ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket >> '/opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock' (38) >> >> I've tried setting it in the my.cnf, touching the actual file at >> /opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock >> >> Anybody?
