cannot connect to DB!Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)qs:/volumes/raider/webserver/ documents/tests/ticklers japruim$

MySQL is running right? (I know, silly question, but have to make sure) If it is.. grep sock /etc/my.ini .. Bet the socket file its creating is in /tmp or /var/lib/mysql

Okay, so the command didn't work.. couldn't find my.ini... But I just cd'ed into /tmp and there is a file mysql.sock in there... Do I need to move that somewhere else? I realize that this is starting to get off topic for this list... So Maybe I should take this to a mysql list since it looks like php isn't at fault? -- Jason Pruim Raoset Inc.
