sonesay 7 Report post Posted November 20, 2008 As far as I can remember OS X comes with apache but does not come with MySql so I had to download and install MySql from their website (dmg file). This worked fine but as I also installed xampp later which comes with MySQL as well I think it conflicts with the original one installed. Some symptoms of this are:1. when I start xampp it starts the original mysql install instead of its own.2. I cannot determine where should I go to configure the xampp mysql users + passwords3. scripts wont work because i cannot connect to socket or either passwords are wrong or unset.I cant determine what one is being run atm when I start xampp. when I go to the phpMyAdmin it says: phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in your configuration and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server. I would like to remove the original mysql install and go with the xampp version. So far I have not found a method that works does anyone have any ideas?
