Error is: ERROR 2002 Can't connect to local MYSQL through socket
'/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
From installation instructions I did ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock
/private/var/mysql/mysql.sock which is no help.
Error 2002 is usually a permissions/ownership problem. Try:
cd /var/lib/mysql
touch mysql.sock
chown mysql:mysql mysql.sock
chmod 1777 mysql.sock
now make a sym link into /tmp
ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp
then
chmod 1777 /tmp
( These are set in /etc/my.cnf... IF that file exists on a Mac!)
Then stop and re-start the mysql server (mysqld)
/usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server start starts mysql but I
cannot get it to start on boot.
My wife's MacAir is a black box to me too. I have NO idea how services
are started on a Mac. Google may be your friend.
