Question

I have problem when I try to connect to MySQL MAMP :

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can\'t connect to local MySQL server through socket \'/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql         


        

Answer 1

In some cases /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock.lock may create the problem. remove .lock and it will work (OSX)
