Casey, in a Terminal window, type
ps -ef | grep -i mysql and see if there is a mysqld process actually running and not a zombie (defunct). See if you can connect on the localhost. See if the socket exists. I'd bet that one of those three will find your problem. Please let us know if this helps. -Sheeri On 2/2/06, Rhodes, Casey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > When testing my connection via Dreamweave MX, I get the following error > message: > > > > 2002 Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket > '/var/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) > > > > It was suggested to me that the server may not be running, though when I go > to my System Preferences Panel (MacOSX), I have a green light and it says > that it is currently running. > > > > > > --Casey Rhodes > > > -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
