I agree, they broke the rules of the config file location. I wish they had better documentation about it. What was odd to me was even if I checked the "Allow network connections" setting, it didn't change the config file to reflect the new option. I had to manually edit the cnf file. I even posted in Apple's discussions board and no one was able to help me out. Glad we both figured out our little dilemma. Thanks for the comment Avi.

I didn't need to edit the my.cnf file as you did, but I did see mention of that through my troubleshooting search. It seems Apple broke it's own rules about where the config files are supposed to live, huh? At any rate, our Wordpress blog and other databases are working like a champ now. It seemed more like a permissions issue to me, but I am not sure exactly what I did to get it working, it just seemed to fix itself! It's comforting somehow to see others facing the same problems. I work as an Apple Consultant and am a member of the ACN, so it's really helpful to find these little tidbits of troubleshooting info from time to time.
