This portion of my site is powered by Blosxom. Blosxom is a perl script whose functionality here is extended through several plugin scripts in order to dynamically assemble a multitude of separate plain text files stored in a directory tree on the server into a cohesive, dated and RSS enabled weblog. Now in daily (r)sync with the directories on Nate's Powerbook.

phpmyadmin won't run on osx

Attempting to login to my local installation of PHPMyAdmin on Mac OS X Leopard for the first time, I received this message:

#2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured)

Assuming the server is installed and running, these problems are almost always caused by incorrect path issues. A Google search brought up this solution.

Solution:

1. Open the terminal
2. sudo mkdir /var/mysql
3. sudo ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/mysql/mysql.sock
4. Reload the login page and login
