 Replying to [comment:18 enginerd1@…]:
 > So where is the socket SUPPOSED to be? Is it in /tmp or in
 /opt/local/var/run/mysql5 ?

 /opt/local/var/run/mysql5.

 > What files need to reference this? /opt/local/etc/mysql5/my.cnf?
 /opt/local/var/db/php5/mysql.ini? /opt/local/etc/php5/php.ini?

 Do not modify any file in /opt/local/var/db/php5. Your changes will not be
 preserved when you upgrade the port that installed that file.

 I don't know which files absolutely need to specify the socket location.
 When in doubt, specify it everywhere possible, including my.cnf and
 php.ini.

 > Did I overlook an install readme file on macports for this? If not, one
 would be useful because the tutorials out there describing how to execute
 the set for mysql from macports are horrible.

 I can't speak for any third-party tutorials. The only one we have is the
 [wiki:howto/MAMP MAMP how-to]. If it's inaccurate or inadequate, please
 let us know, or better yet, register for a Trac account and edit the page
 yourself.
