I have tested the fix. All I had to do was add a file ‘my.cnf’ to the /etc directory with the following information:

[mysqld]
socket=/tmp/mysql.sock
old_passwords

Everything is now well.

Here is a post from the MamboForge forums. I have not tried it yet, but will tonight:

I am running it after a few minor changes.

1. In your /etc/my.cnf, if you haven’t put “old_passwords” in there,
that will enable it to use the old-style passwords for MySQL 4.1 since Panther was running on 4.0.x it used a different hashing for authentication. I’m not sure if Mambo handles the newer (longer) password formats.

2. You will probably have to change the socket that PHP looks for. Apple has changed the socket for MySQL in Tiger Server so open up the php.ini file and point it at the new location /var/mysql/mysql.sock. (as opposed to /tmp/mysql.sock

3. Your my.cnf file should also reflect the changes to the place mysql
looks for its socket.

After that, things should go smoothly.
