cd /usr/local/mysql ./bin/mysqld_safe
and see if that starts up the server.
If it doesn't, check to make sure you don't have a proxy set in your internet configurations.

I have installed mysql on Mac OS X. when I attempt to access it either through a php page or through Terminal, I receive this message;

I have just switched to a Mac and am unfamiliar with many aspects of unix. I read something about creating a symbolic link but am unsure how to do this and if this will solve the problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
