5 CommentsI just spent a hour going through this so you won’t have to. I thought I installed mysql using mac ports but I kept getting this error.
Errno::ENOENT (No such file or directory - /tmp/mysql.sock):
Below are the three steps you need to get Mysql running on Leopard for MacPorts.
sudo port install mysql5 +server
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5.plist
sudo ln -s /opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock /tmp/mysql.sock

Hello, this is probably the wrong place to post this but on your jobs listing page, your “contact us” form 404s when you try to submit anything. I was just trying to ask where you guys were located.
Thanks

Hey,
Thanks for posting this, it will hopefully be the answer to my mysql nightmares. One problem, though; I’ve followed your steps, and still can’t get rake db:migrate to work.
If I try to run “$ sudo ln -s /opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock /tmp/mysql.sock” again, I get this:
ln: /tmp/mysql.sock: File exists
Then when I try to run “rake db:migrate”, I get this contradictory message:
No such file or directory – /tmp/mysql.sock
Have you seen this problem, and do you know what to do about it?
Thanks for any help.

Just a copy/paste of the install output about the daemon and creating initial db…
