Sorry... the suggested fix should be to update the documentation to include the -S <socketpath>.

Thank you for the bug record. Workaround use --socket=path option.

Unassigning myself; it's a mysql_install_db bug.
Description: When mysql_install_db finishes, it says that change your password with: PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER ! To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands: ./bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password' ./bin/mysqladmin -u root -h dbtestnew password 'new-password If --defaults-file was used when invoking mysql_install_db and the socket path was overridden, you'll get something along the lines of: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' exists! How to repeat: Run /bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password' Suggested fix: Use -S <socketpath> when invoking mysqladmin on a new install
