But he told us before he's not using MacPorts mysql5; he's using his own manually-compiled MySQL server. In which case, Phil, you need to figure out where that server of yours is putting its socket file, and then tell PHP by editing the php.ini or perhaps the phpmyadmin config file.


Or, forgo using a socket file and connect to your server by its IP address, e.g. "127.0.0.1".
