mysql startup error

Hi,

I installed the stack for an apple intel with os X leopard and apache worked fine but for the mysql I got this series of messages. Any idea what went wrong?

Macintosh:~ markjolles$ /applications/mampstack-0.9.4/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -p version
Enter password:
/applications/mampstack-0.9.4/mysql/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at ‘localhost’ failed
error: ‘Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ’/tmp/mysql.sock’ (2)’
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: ’/tmp/mysql.sock’ exists!

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

This is currently a bug in the stacks we’re aware of :) It is already solved and it will work okay once we update MAMPStack

Cheers

Hi,

You can resolve the issue adding the -S option to set the socket:

$ mysqladmin -S /applications/mampstack-0.9.4/mysql/tmp/mysql.sock
