Well, I figured it would be prudent to make it mimic the previous method to make it all work correctly as it did before. Well, now I have run into a few strange things. Mimicking the _mysql user works: Phat-G5:~ steffan$ sudo su -m _mysql sh-3.2$ /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/var Using the tip for launchd does not seem to work. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>KeepAlive</key> <true/> <key>Label</key> <string>com.mysql.mysqld</string> <key>Program</key> <string>/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe</string> <key>RunAtLoad</key> <true/> <key>UserName</key> <string>_mysql</string> <key>WorkingDirectory</key> <string>/usr/local/mysql</string> </dict> </plist> I get no daemon running under ps -U _mysql when I use sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.mysql.mysqld.plist To launch it. Anything I am missing here? Thanks Steffan --------------------------------------------------------------- T E L 6 0 2 . 7 9 3 . 0 0 1 4 | F A X 6 0 2 . 9 7 1 . 1 6 9 4 Steffan A.
