ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
Since yesterday I am trying to set up mysql on my Lion. I am not able to start mysql client through terminal. I have tried a lot of things as I found on google. Can someone please have a look and let me know if I am doing a blunder or similar?
