MySQL #2002 - No such file or directory

[Ignatios Athanasiadis]

Hello,

Thank you for the information.
Are you referring to a mysql.sock or a mysqld.sock file?
The problem was that there was no mysql.sock file anyware in my computer.
The only socket file I could find was a mysqld.sock one.
To generate the mysql.sock, I included the code below in the my.cnf file.

[client]
port=3306
socket=/tmp/mysql.sock

[mysqld]
port=3306
socket=/tmp/mysql.sock
key_buffer_size=16M
max_allowed_packet=8M

[mysqldump]
quick

Now it works, no error is generated.

MacPorts MySQL versions don't put their socket in either /tmp or /var/mysql nor is there a good reason for you to try to make it do so. Just use the socket file from the location where MacPorts puts it.
