MySQL Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp' **solved**

Post by pjsamson »

I'm running a local MySQL 8 on my iMac and can access it via command line but not from within meteobridge. Anyone had this issue and found how to get it to work?

"localhost" means that the database is on the Meteobridge, which it is not ;-)
You have to specify the IP of your Mac here.
