The error that you have is normally that MySQL in not running. If it is running then MySQL client can not find the sock file. I should not think you will have to reinstall. Simon
-----Original Message----- From: Daniel Florian [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 15 January 2003 13:11 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Mysql Error When I try to connect to the MySql server on localhost I get the following error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) I am not quite sure what this means. I am running Mac OS X 10.2.3. Before I upgraded from 10.1, I had no problems, but now am unable to connect at all. Is it possible to remove MySql (and how do I go about it) so that I can reinstall it again? Sorry if these are stupid questions, but I can't seem to find how to uninstall MySql in the manual.
