i have found out where the problem lies...i have become aware of how to use unix and now when i open mysqld i get this
Alix:/Library/MySQL/bin alix$ /Library/MySQL/bin/mysqld_safe; exit
Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /Library/MySQL/var
rm: /tmp/mysql.sock: Operation not permitted
STOPPING server from pid file /Library/MySQL/var/Alix.local.pid
050815 20:32:01 mysqld ended
exit
[Process completed]
so, first of all there was not a file hd/Library/MySQL/var/tmp/mysql.sock so i created the tmp folder and mysql.sock file and typed 734 and saved the document. still nothing happened...i got the same response.
then i looked up the Alix.local.pid file and it seems i have a file named Alix.local.err and a file name Alix.pid, but not one named Alix.local.pid. So i created this file and still kept the other two, but nothing has happened yet.
Any thoughts?
