Double check that mysqld is running. I usually find out that it's not
when I get that error.

Hello All,
I am trying to install MySQL 4.1.12 on my Powermac G4. My OS is
10.4.1. I downloaded the binary distribution from the MySQL website.
I uncompressed it and opened the .dmg installer. I ran the installer.
Where it prompted for the Administrator's password, I gave it. The
installation completed successfully. I then followed the instructions
and installed the StartUp item without problem. I then tried to
access the database and I get the following message:
-> mysql -u root
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through
socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
->
Should the installer have installed mysql.sock in /tmp on Macs
running OS 10.4.1? Is there a step I missed or is missing in the
documentation? Can MySQL run on a Mac using 10.4.1?
Thank you for your time.
Elton
