O.k. I re-initialized the database (I think) using the directions at http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/mysql/ . I then went into the terminal and tried to start up the database, then test it.

When I tried to test it I recieved an error:

/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql test
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
[1] + Done sudo ./bin/mysqld_safe

Her is all the terminal commands:
