Hi Matthew,Yes I have tried telnetting, and it refuses connection. Reading up on the possibiltiies, if its (a) firewall, Leopard doesnt allow you to open up specific ports, but only specify applications.
But you could certainly set it to accept ALL incoming connections just to see if that resolves the issue. Otherwise you'd have to point it to your MySQL script and hope it can figure it out.
(b) if it is tcp/ip, which I think it may be, I am not sure how to set that up.
Well, we don't know that yet without knowing for sure why your machine is refusing connections on port 3306.
The MySQL is the pre-built one and I know its not ideal. I am trying to work out the best way of building my own, but the problem is, uninstalling the pre-built mysql is a nightmare according to other bloggers.
When you say "pre-built" what specifically do you mean? I'm not implying you have to build from source in order to make this work on the Mac, but if you got something like a bundled up PHP + MySQL single-installer package for the Mac, which are put together by people other than MySQL themselves, that causes issues.
If you installed using the Mac installer that you downloaded from mysql.com, then that's fine.
