No the server is not running and the socket does not exist because
the server is not running. The problem is that I don't have the
right permissions to do anything with the port mysql4. Indeed, I
also tried to deactivate it and get the following:
---> Deactivating mysql4
Error: port deactivate failed: error deleting "/opt/local/var/run/
mysqld/.turd_mysql4": permission denied
So, how do I set the permissions to act on the mysql4 server?
MacPorts installs things as root, so to change anything about your
installation, including installing new ports or uninstalling old
ones, you need to preface your "port" command with "sudo" (which
stands for "SuperUser DO"):
sudo port uninstall mysql4
When prompted, type the password for your Mac OS X account (which
must be an admin account).
P.S: Use Reply All so your reply goes to the list too, not just to me.
