check the permission of /tmp folder.

I think mysql user can not access that dir:
chmod 777 /tmp

I am trying to install MySql on MAC OS X. After the pkg is installed I am not able to start the MySql server due to the Socket error.

Now, when I check the /tmp folder I see that there is no file by that name 'mysql.sock'.

Has anyone faced a similar problem?


Thanks, Mustafa.
