Dear MySQL People: I am having a difficult time trying to run mysqld during system startup on both
Mac OS X (workstation) and Mac OS X Server. I have tried several combinations based on the Mysql.com documentation and the Apple Developer Connection article on startup items: http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/Essentials/SystemOverview/BootingLogin/Customization_Techniques.html Currently I have a directory in /Library/StartupItems/ named MySQLd that contains a script named MySQLd and a file StartupItems.plist In the script I have tried running safe_mysqld as follows cd /sw/bin/ /sw/bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql I have also tried /sw/share/mysql/mysql.server start As well as other combinations. None would start mysqld (Although I can run safe_mysqld as root manually after startup) The best debugging info I could get was by starting in verbose mode (command V) and quickly reading the messages as they flitted by on the screen. I saw something like /Library/StartupItems/MySQL: permission denied Can anyone help me get this to work on Mac OS X?
