mySQL-5.1.34-osx10.4-powerpc-64bit
Not sure how this happened, but mySql will not start anymore, either
from the command line or the system pref control panel.
here's a startup sample: [I have blocked out the password]
Power-Mac-G5:/usr/local/mysql chriselhardt$ sudo /usr/local/mysql/bin/
mysqld_safe --user=root --password=xxxx
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe: line 209: /usr/bin/grep: cannot
execute binary file
100113 16:21:07 mysqld_safe Logging to '/usr/local/mysql/data/Power-
Mac-G5.local.err'.
100113 16:21:07 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases
from /usr/local/mysql/data
100113 16:21:08 mysqld_safe mysqld from pid file /usr/local/mysql/
data/Power-Mac-G5.local.pid ended
Power-Mac-G5:/usr/local/mysql chriselhardt$ pwd
/usr/local/mysql
and another one:
Power-Mac-G5:/usr/local/mysql chriselhardt$ sudo /usr/local/mysql/
support-files/mysql.server start
Starting MySQL.. ERROR! Manager of pid-file quit without updating file.
where are the config files supposed to be? ~Users/
chriselhardt/.my.cnf has only a single line,
[mySQL]
and I'm pretty sure there used to be more in there than that.
Thanks for any assistance.

Old Silurian Period the Mississippi River was upward of one million
three hundred thousand miles long ... seven hundred and forty-two years
from now the Mississippi will be only a mile and three-quarters long.

wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of
fact."
