Using MySQL Admin for the first time on my iMac, I too ran into the ‘No host selected’ error. It took me a while, but finally figured out I had to click the little grey triangle (or arrow) pointing to the user. This opens up a drop-down list of hosts under the user — surprise! Select which host, and proceed to adding privileges…(everything’s easy when you know how!)

Hey, I’ve been addicted to MySQL Administrator in Windows for years, and it was very strange on Mac that it doesn’t work exactly the same way. The ‘host’ option gave me some thinking, thanks for being available with the solution in Google.

I’ve added ‘localhost’ to the users’ hosts and it works great. Still, one might want to keep an eye on ‘%’ because that means ‘any host from the Internet’, so the default might mean ‘nooooo localhost, but anyone else – sure’

I’m new to MySQL and I’m having problems connecting to my localhost.

I typed in /var/mysql/mysql.sock in the Connect Using Socket: text field and I’m receiving and error.

Error: Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘//var/mysql/mysql.sock’ (2) code 2002

It gives me an option to ping host which doesn’t work.

Any help getting this connected would be GREATLY appreciated.

The reason it says “Skip” in your screenshots is because it changes to “Skip” whenever you are holding the command key. Change your screenshot hotkey, and your screenshots won’t have this problem! Not that it’s a big deal…

I haven’t used cocoaMySQL in it’s new incarnation but I will check it out at some point. I’m a big Navicat fan at this point so it’s going to take a lot to pull me away…

Well.. after experiencing NUMEROUS bugs and crashes from the mySQL QB – I was nudged in the direction of cocaoMySql which has since become Sequel Pro ( http://code.google.com/p/sequel-pro/ ) – and boy… what a piece of work… ill reccomend it to anybody…
