Mysql5 Path

Reported by: oldmilwaukee33@… Owned by: ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.9.1
Keywords: Cc:
Port: mysql5

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

When I run python manage.py dbshell I am getting an error message regarding mysql5 not being in my path. I have tried a few things in my settings.py file but I must be setting the path incorrectly. I want to find the correct path to mysql5 & set it in my bash_login file. This should allow mysql5 to be found @localhost in my settings.py file & also have mysql5 in my system path.....

demetrius-fords-macbook-pro-17:jenniwren demet8$ python manage.py dbshell
/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/MySQLdb/__init__.py:34: DeprecationWarning: the sets module is deprecated
  from sets import ImmutableSet
Error: You appear not to have the 'mysql' program installed or on your path.

From the error message it appears to be looking for "mysql" rather than "mysql5". "mysql" is located in /opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin; put that in your PATH.

It worked! thank you. For some reason I couldn't get this answer on StackOverflow......

Hey Ryan quick question. Everything was working fine with my Mysql connection until yesterday. This is the error message I am getting now when I try to login to the server mysql5 -u demet8 -p:

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock' (2).

This is my current path via bash_login: export PATH="opt/local/bin:/opt/local/bin/mysql5/bin:/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin:/opt/local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:$PATH"

I updated Macports and my Portfiles after I started getting the error message & the update when good but I am still getting the ERROR message. Any suggestions?

Is mysqld actually running, and does its socket file exist at /opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock?

I downloaded mysqld sometime ago & it was running fine. I looked in /opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock? & the mysql5 folder is completely empty. No files of any kind are located in the mysql5 folder.....

Ok, so there is no socket file. Is mysqld running? If not, start it; if it's already running, stop and restart it. Do you have a socket file there now? If not, do you have the socket file somewhere else? Perhaps you told MySQL to put the socket elsewhere by changing a setting in your my.cnf?

@ Ryan this is what I did. sudo ln -s /opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock /tmp/mysql.sock. I had to add a symbolic link to mysql5 mysqld.sock. Then I re-started mysql. It worked before without all this so I am not sure what really happened. Thanks again for helping me.
