Thank you. That helped quite a bit. But now I'm getting the following error:
"ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)"
There isn't a mysql.sock in /tmp. However /tmp does have the following permissions:
drwxrwxrwt 6 root wheel 512 Aug 17 20:07 .
Originally it was just a default setup. There was no my.cnf file. I found a .cnf file in /usr/local/share/mysql/my-medium.cnf and used that to configure options in mysql. I moved it to /var/db/mysql and renamed it my.cnf. Restarted, everything seemed fine. I was able to log into mysql but now I can't seem to login and I'm not sure why. I did try commenting out the socket part in my.cnf but that didn't seem to help.
EDIT:
I found a couple other default .cnf files. There was my-medium.cnf (which I originally used), my-small.cnf and my-large.cnf. I ran a diff to compare to the originals. It looks like the issue is related to these two lines:
query_cache_size = 8M
thread_cache_size = 4
That was causing the problem. When I removed them. Everything seemed to work fine... well at least I could use: mysql -u root -p
What did those commands do that caused it to not work?
