MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured?

[spaco]

After installing Tiger on my mac mini mySQL is all to pot.

Keep getting the message #2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured)"

Any ideas?

I had the same problem. I had to do a clean install because I screwed things up so bad. That's OK though, at least I got rid of the extra languages.

Anyways ... go here to download the one that worked for me:

I solve this by changing the bind-address from 127.0.0.1 to my actual IP 192.168.x.x on the config file ( /etc/mysql/my.cnf ), save the my.cnf and restart mysql: /etc/init.d/mysql restart <enter>

That's all there is to it...
