First, I installed mySQL. No problems there. However, not knowing how everything worked, I used PHPmyAdmin to delete the root user. Yes, I know, stupid. Then, realizing my error with the help of a friend, I repeatedly tried to reinstall mySQL to get rid of those users. Didn't work. I tried uninstalling using an uninstall script from some site (entropy.ch or something) and it still didn't work when I reinstalled. I did not dump the database when I did it. I kept getting some socket error and mysqld would not start up. Finally, I deleted my mySQL user on my computer with hopes of replacing it... but I don't know how.
If anyone can help me, I would GREATLY appreciate it. Here's the things I need in the order I need them:
1. How do I create the mySQL user on Mac OS X? 2. How can I delete all that stuff about root users and start anew? 3. What can I do about the socket error?
#3 may not be an issue once I fix the others.
Please consider helping a poor guy out.
Thanks, Nick Boudreau
