Description:
hello, i have a macbook running mac os x, version 10.6.1. I have apached setup and 
am running php as well. I recently downloaded and installed mysql and mysql gui tools. 
I tried to connect to mysql via mysql administrator and got the following error:
connection error
could not connect to mysql instance at localhost
error can't connect to local mysql server through socket 'tmp/mysql.sock'(2) (code2002)

mysql version: 5.1.39 osx10.4-powerpc.dmg
macbook 10.6.1

I'm a developer and have picked up a mac to begin coding on the mac. I have a VAMP running and
it works great; just want to figure out how to get mysql running on the mac.

thanks

How to repeat:
install mysql version: 5.1.39 osx10.4-powerpc.dmg on a macbook 10.6.1 and you'll see the error when you try to connect to mysql.

Suggested fix:
not sure

Please, send the results of:

uname -a
sudo find / -name mysqld -print 2>/dev/null
ps aux | grep mysqld

from the Terminal.

This relates to EOL (no longer supported) versions of MySQL Server. Furthermore, both Mac OS X and the MySQL packaging on OS X have gone a long way since this was reported. Thus closing.
