I tried (and got back) this:

[mbase:~] ted% safe_mysqld
touch: /usr/var/mbase.err: No such file or directory
chown: mysql: invalid user name
Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/var
/usr/bin/safe_mysqld: no such file or directory: /usr/var/mbase.err [229]
/usr/bin/safe_mysqld: no such file or directory: /usr/var/mbase.err [235]
tee: /usr/var/mbase.err: No such file or directory
020126 02:10:54  mysqld ended
tee: /usr/var/mbase.err: No such file or directory

This was the first time I'm trying to start MySQL.
What does this mean, i.e., what's the problem and how do I remedy it (OS X)?

Thank you in Advance.

Ted Rogers
