Crap. Friday it worked. "Good. Monday I can get to work."
Monday, not working. It is not connecting to MySQL. The error message is "No such file or directory" (referring I find later to mysql.sock) So again, digging around and GoDuckGo-ing (Monday and so far today) here is what I know: -- MySQLWorkbench is connecting to MySQL fine. It is using TCP/IP. -- Any attempts to use mysql.sock fail, which is why PHP/Apache is not connecting. -- PHP believes that mysql.sock is at /var/mysql/ -- it is not, apparently. -- I tried to search for it (find . -name "mysql.sock" -print), and I can't find it anywhere. -- Following instructions from searching, I try to run MySQL from the terminal (sudo ./bin/mysqld_safe). That way, I can run STATUS and find the mysql.sock file. Same error message: "No such file or directory" -- I find a command SHOW STATUS by digging around in MySQL Workbench, but that reports nothing about the sock file. So here I am again, simultaneously: - spitting fire at Apple for messing up my configuration, -"sock"-ing myself for being such an ignorant bastard, - looking into promising careers in Medical Assisting or as a McDonalds trainee, AND - groveling once more for my friends to take pity on me and point me in some useful direction.
