After the JS2E 5.0 Release 4 update on Mac OS 10.4.6 on the 19th, MySQL 4.1.18 64-bit hasn't started. It begins to start up, before ending with "ERROR!". Any possible reasons/solutions?

Did you check mysql's error log for details?

Managed to fix it: /tmp was broken.

/tmp should be a symbolic link to /private/tmp, and should be owned by root and the group admin. It should have a CHMOD of 755.

The Fix:

sudo rm -r /tmp
sudo ln -s /private/tmp /tmp

All the best,

Are you saying the update changed the ownership, group, or permissions? I have had OS X updates change the permissions on /tmp 2 or 3 times in the past, but there was no change for me when I just installed JS2E 5.0 Release 4 update. Also, why was it necessary to remove and recreate the link? Couldn't you just reset whatever changed?
