Being a newbie has its challenges... Before going any further on the answers to my earlier post, I thought I should walk through the setup process once more.
I set up a new app. I can load the "it worked!" page using a browser on the localhost with "runserver". When I ran the "manage.py syncdb" method as part of walking through the project setup process, it threw an exception, see traceback below. The server is running mysql, I use phpMyAdmin and a couple of other applications successfully with it. There is an existing database of the same name as the new django project. I didn't find anything interesting in the logs, but then the django logs are empty at the moment. I did not find a file at "/tmp/mysql.sock" I found some references to the 2002 error but they seemed to be problems of whether mysql was running or installed. Can someone point me in the right direction? - Mark Traceback ========= admin$ python manage.py syncdb Traceback (most recent call last): File "manage.py", line 11, in ? execute_manager(settings) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/ python2.4/site-packages/Django-0.95.1-py2.4.egg/django/core/ management.py", line 1319, in execute_manager execute_from_command_line(action_mapping, argv) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/ python2.4/site-packages/Django-0.95.1-py2.4.egg/django/core/ management.py", line 1243, in execute_from_command_line action_mapping[action]() File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/ python2.4/site-packages/Django-0.95.1-py2.4.egg/django/core/ management.py", line 446, in syncdb cursor = connection.cursor() File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/ python2.4/site-packages/Django-0.95.1-py2.4.egg/django/db/backends/ mysql/base.py", line 90, in cursor self.connection = Database.connect(**kwargs) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/ python2.4/site-packages/MySQLdb/__init__.py", line 66, in Connect return Connection(*args, **kwargs) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/ python2.4/site-packages/MySQLdb/connections.py", line 134, in __init__ super(Connection, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs2) _mysql_exceptions.OperationalError: (2002, "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)") settings.py ========= DATABASE_ENGINE = 'mysql' # 'postgresql', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'ado_mssql'.
