Just a guess, could it be that the Mac does not support sockets...?? I dunno, I'm just fishing since I have not yet had an opportunity to play with the OS X. What about permissions?
non-the-less... Try changing your config file to use TCP and see if that works. The other thing I ran into when setting up my Linux server is that something was screwy such that it was creating the socket in one location and looking for it in a different location. I solved this problem by overridding and explicitly setting the fully qualified path to the socket. -- Erik ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeffrey Camiel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, May 18, 2002 7:12 AM Subject: newbie mysql install > Installed MySQL using Fink to the Mac X OS.
