I tried the code you proposed

// Define the information to access the mysql server
$mysql_access = array(
'host' => "localhost", // can be in form of host:port.
'socket' => ":/var/mysql/mysql.sock", // path to mysql socket
'username' => "mysql_username", // username for mysql access.
'password' => "mysql_password", // password for mysql access.
'connection' => "socket", // connection type to use. (use socket for local)
); // DO NOT CHANGE THIS!!!
// Establish a connection to the server
$connection = mysql_connect($mysql_access[$mysql_access ['connection']],$mysql_access['username'] ,$mysql_access['password']);


but it still doesn't work. The error is still "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)".

Did you edit the username and password to match a username and password you assigned in mysql??


If it's not working then the username / password is wrong or mysql is not running.

Judging from the error type 2, a connection could not be established and this is a good indication that mysql isn't running.


I heard of MySQL Manager.app, could it help me? The problem is that I cannot find it on my disk (Mac OS X 10.4.10)...

It was installed with the other Server tools so you might wanna look in the Server directory.


If you can't find it then you're not using Mac OS X Server software or you deleted all of the important files like "/usr/bin/mysql" and "/ Applications/Server/MySQL Manager.app" which would have been a feat in itself since you don't seem to know where anything is or how anything works.


Thank you again, livio.
