Hi everyone,
Just installed XAMPP with MySQL in my new MacBook Pro.
This application is running okay.
Then I installed this MySQL tools and when I run it
gives me this error:

Connection Error

Could not connect to MySQL instance at localhost.
Error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/tmp/mysql.soc' (2) (code 2002).

The default username in MySQL is root without password.
I created a new user with password in PHPAdmin with success but
when I run MySQL Administrator in both root user and
the new user I created still gives me the above error.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John
