I installed XAMPP on my Mac (Snow Leopard) and installed Django. How do I tell Django to use this and when I fire up python manage.py runserver I get this error:
...
_mysql_exceptions.OperationalError: (2002, "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock' (2)")
How do I tell Django to use this instead?
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/var/mysql/mysql.sock
Put that in the
HOSTentry for the database in the settings.
