Definitely not necessary, but whatever -- let's assume it worked for the moment :-) > The install folder for MAMP has this: > /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/ > > Which holds two files mysql.pid and mysqp.sock - am I correct in > assuming that those are the executables I need to set my path too? No. The first contains the process id of the mysql server, and the other is the socket used to communicate with it. I'd imagine that somewhere under /Applications/MAMP is a directory with a bunch of files with names starting with mysql. Look around, or run this from a prompt: find /Application/MAMP -type f -name 'mysql*' -print > Symlinks? Um, I'd recommend doing a little reading up on general *nix/shell use. ("symlinks" is short for "symbolic links" -- a way to have a file referenced from a different directory than it's really located in.) But we can skip that for now; you just need to find what to add to your PATH. And Rick already explained that. Oh, yeah, but it's `echo $PATH`, not `print`.
