Hi Gatubato,

that looks like a problem with your PHP MySQL config.
Can you connect to your MySQL Server with e.g. PHPmyAdmin?

Best regards,

I ended up doing a workaround:

1. Go to the installation code (as i recall its in the install
controller), comment out the pre install checks.
2. Run the install, say no to the DB part of the install
3. Take the sql code, run it from phpMyAdmin

Did the job for me.

Thanks Schmunk, thanks Lev for your answers.
I solved as you suggested. Now everything works.
Thanks again, Gatubato

Just one more thing ... some PHP installations on OS X use another socket file for MySQL.

If I do something like
$ php -i | grep SOCKET

I get
$ php -i | grep SOCKET
MYSQL_SOCKET => /opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock
MYSQLI_SOCKET => /opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock

Take a look if your socket file exists there.
Note that these values may differ between Apache and CLI.
