I've tried everything specified in the online documentation, the tips on Marc Lynnage's page, install tips in several MySQL books multiple times. I've read all error messages and tried my best to figure out how to work around them. Absolutely nothing works. I can't set the root password, there is no 'mysql' table after the install, can't create new databases, can't reset the root password by following the instructions at:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Resetting_permissions.html
I don't have the $700 dollars for the commercial license at the moment and can't stomach paying that much just to learn how to get MySQL running and be able to create new tables.
I've been a Macintosh C programmer for 7 years and after that, being unable to get a database running after following the instructions to the letter has me rather stumped. Any Unix/MySQL experts willing to spend a 15 minutes or so on AIM to help me out?
Thanks
