Hello,



I am getting the following error when I try to start MySQL on Tiger (10.4). I installed MySQL 4.0.11 from dev.mysql.com and ran the instalattion script. However, trying to use MySQL I get the following error:



Code:




jhb:~ jhb$ mysql

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)









Code:




jhb:~ jhb$ sudo mysqld_safe

Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/data

STOPPING server from pid file /usr/local/mysql/data/jhb.local.pid

050513 15:49:30 mysqld ended









Looking at the logfiles:



Code:




050513 15:52:51 mysqld started

050513 15:52:51 [Warning] Setting lower_case_table_names=2 because file system for /usr/local/mysql/data/ is case insensitive

050513 15:52:52 mysqld ended

    I installed MySQL 4.0.21 onto a Tiger 10.4.1 machine on Friday, I got some error messages when I tried launching MySQL from a terminal session:

    cd /usr/local/mysql/bin

    ./mysql -u root -p



    You could try rebooting (sorry - I'm forced to use windows a lot and so it's my 1st answer to EVERYTHING).



    The distribution of MySQL I used has a MySQL preference pane (see http://www.serverlogisitics.com ) that has an 'Initialise' button, try installing that and 'initialising' oh, and do another reboot.



    At some point I will make notes of what order to do things in to get MySQL running but in the meantime I'll probably do the things above in a random order until something works.



    good luck.
