I'm still trying to get MySQL running on Mac OS X and previously after installation when MySQL was running, I was getting 1045/6 errors and now, after a re-boot, MySQL is not running (I didn't add the start-up script because of the constant permissions errors I was getting).
When I try to enter mysql I get: [localhost:~] phil% mysql -p Enter password: ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) Also when I try to start up (using ./bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql & ) I get: 20512 00:13:18 mysqld restarted rm: /usr/local/mysql/data/localhost.pid: Permission denied ../bin/safe_mysqld: permission denied: /usr/local/mysql/data/localhost.err [235] tee: /usr/local/mysql/data/localhost.err: Permission denied ad infinitum (I eventually have to "sudo kill -9 PID" to stop it). I've added a ~/.my.cnf file (per instructions in the MySQL manaul) but that makes no difference. Could someone advise me on which file I have to edit to enable start up and use of MySQL (huge_cnf?)? Also, I'm using Marc Liyange's Entropy installation. Has anybody used his uninstall script and, if so, how safe was it (it looks like I may have to uninstall and start again)?
