During the mysql_secure_installation, I get the following error upon entering current password for root (pressing enter for none): ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) Then it just asks for the root password again, (there is not one). This is a fresh install of mysql 4.1.15 on Mac OS 10.4.3 Server, (also fresh install). MySQL is running. What am I doing wrong?

MySQL already comes with OS X Server - my articles are focused on non-Server environments. There's a good chance that you're accessing the default Server MySQL, and not the fresh install you've made. If you go to Applications/Server/MySQL Manager, you should be able to fiddle with the default one built into OS X Server. I can't, however, give you further guidance: I've never touched Server, and my articles will continue to be non-Server based.
