-or-

/etc/my.cnf:
[mysqld]
socket=/var/mysql/mysql.sock

-or, better yet-

/etc/my.cnf:
[client]
socket=/tmp/mysql.sock

-or, better still-
/etc/my.cnf:
[mysqld]
socket=/Users/jeff/Desktop/mysql.sock

[client]
socket=/Users/jeff/Desktop/mysql.sock

Now write a script that checks to see if the socket file has been moved and does the linking for you.

OR, maybe you should stop and think about how the Gods at Apple might have had a good reason to move it? Maybe you’re using it the WRONG way! I mean, it’s not like they could have made a mistake, right?
