Welcome to my issue, if you look in the dir... there isnt a full mysql
installation. I am away from home for a bit and I haven't had time to
fix it. I tried some stuff but I couldn't figure it out. Basically
you're missing mysql.sock, if you find a solution, please let me know.
Sounds like your MySQL is using a non-default location for the socket.
How about putting the lines
[mysqld]
socket=/path/to/mysql.sock
[client]
socket=/path/to/mysql.sock
in the file ~/.my.cnf of the user running mythfilldatabase.
You can find the location of the socket by running:
mysql -u mythtv -p mythconverg -e status
(from a user account that's already configured ;). If you don't have an
account that can connect, check your start scripts to see if they
specify a --socket option or MYSQL_UNIX_PORT environment variable. If
so, put its value in .my.cnf. If not, your MySQL was probably compiled
to use a different default location for the socket (using
--with-unix-socket-path), so you can either find out what it was or use
--socket or MYSQL_UNIX_PORT to set it back to the default default
(/tmp/mysql.sock).
