Hi Philip. I'm wondering if you have mysql server version
3.23.49 still running on your machine?
If so, version 5 would not start up, as it would not
be allowed access to port 3306.
Try doing
my_print_defaults mysqld
and my_print_defaults client mysql
from a root shell and see what values you get returned.

In theory, theory and practice are the same;
In practice they are not.
