Hi people,

I running on 10.2 and installed the mysql-3.23.52.pkg which I downloaded from www.entropy.ch

When I try and communicate with mysql I get this message

Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
can anyone help?
 
1. Is mysql running?

2. the other thing is: '/tmp/mysql.sock' doesn't seem to be where mysql puts the .sock file when it runs on os X. Go to mysql.com and do a search for 'my.cnf'. This is a config file that mysqld will read when starting and you can tell mysqld to use '/tmp/mysql.sock'
