 Hi:

I was testing a fresh install of mysql51-server (on 10.7.4) and I'm having a problem that the socket is not where it is supposed to be:

 $ mysql5 < /opt/local/share/mythtv/database/mc.sql
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock' (2)

 $ mysql_config5 --socket
 /opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock

 $ ls -al /opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock
 ls: /opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock: No such file or directory

 $ ls -al /opt/local/var/run/mysql51

 drwxr-xr-x  4 _mysql  _mysql  136 21 Jun 08:50 .

 srwxrwxrwx  1 _mysql  _mysql    0 21 Jun 08:50 mysqld.sock

 I tried to use /opt/local/etc/mysql51/my.cnf to indicate the socket:
 # Use default MacPorts settings
 !include /opt/local/etc/mysql51/macports-default.cnf

 # WCT modifications 2012Jun21 -
 port           = 3306
 >> socket                = /opt/local/var/run/mysql51/mysqld.sock

 No success.  Should I file a ticket?  Is there a workaround in the meantime?

The mysql5 port has not yet been replaced_by mysql55. The mysql51 port was created for those that are not ready to upgrade to mysql55 when mysql5 is eventually replaced_by mysql55.


If you want to use mysql51 then you will want to use the mysql51 executables:
$ port contents mysql51 | grep /bin/


There is also the mysql_select port which will put simlink executables into your path:
$ sudo port select mysql mysql51
$ which mysql
/opt/local/bin/mysql
$ ls -la $(which mysql)
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 32 Jun 21 07:32 /opt/local/bin/mysql -> /opt/local/lib/mysql51/bin/mysql


Hi Bradley:

Sorry, I only have version 5.1 installed:
$ which mysql5
/opt/local/bin/mysql5
$ mysql5 --version
mysql5 Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.62, for apple-darwin11.4.0 (i386) using readline 6.2
$ mysql5 < /opt/local/share/mythtv/database/mc.sql
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock' (2)

I think the problem is that mysql is looking for the socket at -
/opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock

but it is actually at -
/opt/local/var/run/mysql51/mysqld.sock

ie "5" v. "51", no?

BTW, it is a bit awkward for me to test--I have to reboot into Lion and then back to SL for email, et al. I overlooked your recommendation to run 'sudo port select mysql mysql51'. I'll try that in a bit.
