title: Cannot find mysql.sock
body: <p>I just had to re-install mysql and I am having a problem starting it up.  It cannot find the socket (mysql.sock).  The problem is that neither can I.  In my Mac OS X 10.4 terminal, I type: <code>locate mysql.sock</code>, and I get back <code>/private/tmp/mysql.sock</code>.  It makes sense that the socket file exist in that location, but it actually does not.</p>

  <li><p>How can I find the socket file?</p></li>
  <li><p>If locate is returning a false location, it must have some sort of memory and probably indexes.  How can I refresh that index?</p></li>
