Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 Replying to [comment:3 jeremyhu@…]:
 > So by default, it is using /var/mysql (which it shouldn't)

 That shouldn't be the case. mysql5 is configured with `--with-unix-socket-
 path=/opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock` so that should be the default,
 unless you have specified otherwise in your my.cnf. I have not specified
 otherwise in my my.cnf, and that is what it is on my system.

 Remember that mysql looks for my.cnf in many places, including
 /etc/my.cnf.
