Hi John,
As mentioned in my post, I can open mysql -u root -p with no problem. MySQL is running, it's just the sock file that is not being created.

I've had more problems with this version than any previous one. The mysql57-server port is installed. MySQL is running, I can run mysql -u root -p with no problem, but mysqld.sock is not created in /opt/local/var/run/mysql57. A mysqld.sock.lock file is _is_ created in that folder. That folder is owned by _mysql, permissions were set to 755, but even 777 makes no difference. /opt/local/etc/mysql57/my.cnf reads: # Use default MacPorts settings !include /opt/local/etc/mysql57/macports-default.cnf [client] user = mysql host = localhost password = "blahblahblah" port = 3306 socket = /opt/local/var/run/mysql57/mysqld.sock [mysqld] log-error = /opt/local/var/log/mysql57/mysql-error.log socket = /opt/local/var/run/mysql57/mysqld.sock The error log just shows a normal startup, no issues. What else can I check or configure to make this work?
