I installed mysql on my Mac Powerbook 10.3 and cannot access the server even though it seems to be running. I get the socket error as seen below. I used the disk img package from the mysql website.
Kevins-Computer:~ kevinbarry$ sudo /Library/StartupItems/MySql/MySql start Password: Starting MySQL database server Kevins-Computer:~ kevinbarry$ /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) Kevins-Computer:~ kevinbarry$ ps auxw | grep mysqld kevinbar 497 0.0 0.0 18644 96 std R+ 1:44PM 0:00.01 grep mysqld Could part of the problem be that the id for the running server is not mysql and how do I change it to mysql?
