argh. I've been racking my brain for 3 days with this, and would GREATLY APPRECIATE any help!

Mac OS X 10.4.7
Personal Web Sharing: on
PHP: started
mySQL: loaded

Drupal in: WebServer/Documents
phpMyAdmin-2.8.2.4 in: WebServer/Documents

when I pull up: WebServer/phpMyAdmin-2.8.2.4/index.php

i get:

Firefox can't find the file at /Library/WebServer/Documents/phpMyAdmin-2.8.2.4/left.php

 echo $url_query;

.

I have my site hosted with SiteGround.com

That all is working fine!

But...I want a local dev/test environment on my box for theme and content creation, etc.

also...

running:

mysql-standard-4.1.21-apple-darwin8.6.0-poewrpc (in: /usr/local/)

drupal 4.7 (in: /WebServer/Documents/drupal/)

...and when I try to pull up Drupal in FF I get a splash screen with the following error:

The MySQL error was: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/mysql/mysql.sock' (2).

please help
thanks!

Personally I found it easier using the /Sites directory, too much PFing around with the root web server.

Sorry haven't encountered that particular problem before so no idea what could be causing it o_O

127.0.0.1 (instead of localhost)- is one option to try. I have had this same problem on and off when setting up a local Drupal site on OS 10.4. however, i think using this loopback address is slower (qualitatively).
