#43088: mysql5 @5.1.72 uses /tmp for socket ---------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: ctreleaven@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: mysql5 | ---------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by ctreleaven@…): pixilla's comment in email sparked me to look for other my.cnf files. There was an old config file in /private/etc/my.cnf. It is dated in 2010, before I started to use MacPorts. In fact, before I bought this machine. Migration Assistant must have copied it over from my former Mac. After deleting this file, mysql5 is behaving as expected. Sorry for the noise; please close the ticket. Thanks! -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/43088#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
