Something bad has happened. MySQL was up and running on my machine, but
now it's not and I have a chicken and egg problem that I can't seem to
solve...
I uninstalled any old versions of MySQL and I'm using the package
installer of version 4.0.13 on Mac OS 10.2.6.
When I "cd /usr/local/" and "sudo ./bin/mysqld_safe" I get the
following:
Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/data
030702 08:43:04 mysqld ended
So, I check the log and here's what it says:
030702 08:43:04 mysqld started
030702 8:43:04 Can't start server : Bind on unix socket: Permission
denied
030702 8:43:04 Do you already have another mysqld server running on
socket: /tmp/mysql.sock ?
030702 8:43:04 Aborting
030702 8:43:04 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld: Shutdown Complete
030702 08:43:04 mysqld ended
But, I'm pretty sure nothing's running because /tmp/mysql.sock doesn't
exist and when I run mysql I get:
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Todd
