I am trying to install MySQL on a Mac OS X server (v 10.1). I have followed the instructions in the online documentation, but I am having 2 problems. Any advice on the problems or on where to get more information is greatly appreciated.
1. I got mysql installed and running (using ./bin/safe_mysqld --user=root & when inside the /usr/local/mysql directory). I was able to view the databases, create a new database, etc. Then I had to restart the server, and when I go back in to the same directory and type the same command, I get the message "Starting mysqld with databases from ... " (same as earlier, this is good) and then immediately a message that mysql has closed. Why is this happening and how do I get the mysql server to *stay* running? 2. While I had mysqld running, I created a database and then granted a user all privileges on it with a password using GRANT. However, this user could not log in to mysql; access was denied. I can see in the db table that this user has privileges on the database I created for it; how do I give it privileges to log in? Thanks again very much for your help. I am new to MySQL, so I don't know where to look for what is causing these problems.
