You folks are great. A lot of experts are less than tolerant of beginners. I feel welcome here and I appreciate that!

This should help you out - http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/mysql/
I just downloaded and installed mysql 4.1.1 on a Macintosh G5, but I cannot get it to start up. I first tried manual startup using the unix commands as detailed in the manual. I kept getting the message mysql shutting down before I could hit ctl-Z. Then when I tried to connect, it stated:
"ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)"
