Okay, so I've installed from Fink both MySQL and phpmyadmin. Following the instructions on MySQL's documentation web page, I entered this command and got this response:
> James-Coyles-iBook:~ jamescoy$ mysql -u root > ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through > socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) > James-Coyles-iBook:~ jamescoy$ mysql -u root > ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through > socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) > James-Coyles-iBook:~ jamescoy$ cd /sw/bin > James-Coyles-iBook:/sw/bin jamescoy$ mysql -u root > ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through > socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) > Do I need to disable my Apache server before I can do anything, or again, is this an environment issue? Thanks, and apologies if this is off topic here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
