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.
