Re: newbie ACID setup question

[roman () danyliw com]

The MySQL client library is unable to find the domain socket through which
it is suppose to communicate.  The library expected it at /tmp/mysql.sock.
Locate where mysqld is creating the mysql.sock and symlink from
/tmp/mysql.sock to this file.

shell> ln -s /path/to/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock
