Hi Melissa,
/tmp/mysql/sock ?
Are you sure you do not mean:
/tmp/mysql.sock ?
At any rate, it is a UNIX domain socket, and is supposed to be empty (it is
basically a socket in the filesystem). If you do a "ls -la /tmp/mysql.sock",
it will give you something like this:
srwxrwxrwx 1 mysql wheel 0 Oct 8 23:12 mysql.sock
But maybe you really just made a type in the socket dir. :)
