Thanks Paul, but I've googled my arse off, and have tried what others have recommended: - setting the socket in my.cnf - touching where the mysqld.sock should be, creating the file and making permissions 775 I've rebooted, restarted, etc. I've not had this problem on a non Tiger Server machine, but on this xserve, it's totally flaky. I'll re-install mysql5 according to someone else's setup, but I really need to know the correct steps for OSX Server -- there's something going on there.

I could really still use some help with mysql5 on Tiger server; no matter what I do I get:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock' (38)
I've tried setting it in the my.cnf, touching the actual file at /opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock
Anybody? This is driving me insane.
Thanks much.
This is a pretty common mysql problem, not so much to do with MacPorts: some different approaches here.
