Well back to square one with PHP, MySQl and Apache under MacPorts.@
http://localhost/drupal-6.15/install.php?profile=default&locale=en after
adding database name, database user and password I get:
Failed to connect to your MySQL database server. MySQL reports the following
message: *No such file or directory*.
- Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
- Are you sure that you have typed the correct database hostname?
- Are you sure that the database server is running?
For more help, see the Installation and upgrading
handbook<http://drupal.org/node/258>.
If you are unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your
hosting provider.
and when I run http://localhost/connect-test.php I still get:
*Warning*: mysql_connect()
[function.mysql-connect<http://localhost/function.mysql-connect>]:
[2002] No such file or directory (trying to connect via
unix:///tmp/mysql.sock) in */opt/local/apache2/htdocs/connect-test.php* on
line *2*
*Warning*: mysql_connect()
[function.mysql-connect<http://localhost/function.mysql-connect>]:
No such file or directory in */opt/local/apache2/htdocs/connect-test.php* on
line *2*
Could not connect: No such file or directory
But I guess I need to add the paths to mysql.sock again..
