Hey Guys, you helped me once when I tryied to create a database : "Access denied for user ''@'localhost' ". On my Mac OS 10.4, I had no problem creating database and modifying it from the terminal. But I use Dreamweaver 8 to connect to MySQL, with its built-in feature "MySQL Connection" I write this: Connection Name: con_test001
MySQL Server: localhost
User Name: root
Password: 55555
Database: test001 (which is a database I already createde using the terminal)
But when i click test i get this message:
MySQL Error# 2002
Can't connect to local mysql server '/var/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
I Understand that some people have the same problem even when they aren't working with dreamweaver, only php and a text editor. I also tried to this: cd /var
sudo mkdir mysql
cd mysql
sudo ln -s /private/tmp/mysql.sock mysql.sock
but It didn't work. i log on this way:
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -u root –p
pbmods if you could help me with this again, i would appreciate it. Thank you

Heya, markodilore.
Is MySQL running? Try running this in the Terminal:
If nothing comes up, then the database server is not running.
Try running this command: -
sudo /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql.server start
-
The mysql.server file might not be in /usr/local/mysql/bin; it might be in /usr/local/mysql/support-files instead.
Hey pbmobs, thanks for aswering me, again. I wrote that command and i got this message: - Marko-Dilore-Computer:~ markodilore$ ps -axc | grep mysqld
-
252 ?? S 0:00.55 mysqld
So I guess the server is running. Should i write the second part any way. because I keep getting that error message. thanks!

Heya, markodilore.
Try restarting your MySQL server. Issue the following commands: -
> /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql.server stop
-
> /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql.server start
-
As always, mysql.server might be in /usr/local/mysql/support-files instead.
Hey pbmods, thanks a lot. I wrote that code and it did turn mysql off and back on, I did it inmedietely following the other one: - Last login: Mon Oct 14 09:34:33 on console
-
Welcome to Darwin!
-
Marko-Dilore-Computer:~ markodilore$ sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server stop
-
Shutting down MySQL.. SUCCESS!
-
Marko-Dilore-Computer:~ markodilore$ sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server start
-
Starting MySQL SUCCESS!
-
Marko-Dilore-Computer:~ markodilore$
But I still keep getting the error message, maybe i shouldn't have turned it back on right away, shoul I try to connect to mysql in a different way or is there something in this directory: '/var/mysql/mysql.sock' that need to be fixed. Please help me, thank you.
I may be mistaken, but I believe that I fixed this by editing the /etc/my.cnf file. There are sections in there for both the mysql CLIENT and the mysql SERVER. At first I mistakenly just changed the first instance of "socket" and not the second one.
For me the fix was to change both occurrences of socket to
socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
HTH,

Yep that can also do it.
Another reason could be that MySQL is looking fo the sock file in /tmp instead. Moving the mysql.sock file from /var/lib/mysql/ to /tmp would do it.

Not sure if this is truly a mySQL issue or a PHP issue, since the problem
started when I reconfigured/made a PHP upgrade:We're using RedHat ES2.1.
With PHP 4.1.3 and phpMyAdmin 2.5.6, it was
working fine.
Then I upgraded to PHP 4.3.4. And I started getting the error:
MySQL said:

i get this when i do '/etc/rc.d/rc.mysql start'
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
ive had a look on google, and the problem for most people seems to be
permissions, but im running as root, and the socket doesn't exist. It
doesn't create the socket when it runs, because i tried putting mysql in
the root user group.

Now let me describe what I have done and my purpose:
Originally, I want to user ports to install phpBB
But I found that phpBB doesn't support mysql 5.x (but the ports
installed mySQL 5.0.0 alpha)

And then I install mysql41-server and mysql41-client on FreeBSD 5.3 by
