no socket?

January 19th, 2008 at 9:28 am — Eric

I had the following error:
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)

I made the symbolic link to the typical mysql socket location, as it is written, but unfortunately, after restart the terminal, i have still the error, when i type:

$ mysqladmin5 -u root -p ping
Enter password:
mysqladmin5: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock' exists!

thank you for your help!!
