This is a mac os X installation problem: When I download/install the pkg
version of mysql 4.0.13, two directories seem to be missing in
/usr/local/bin/mysql: var/ and run/. So, when I try to run mysqld_safe (or
safe_mysqld), I get errors like:
" touch: /usr/local/mysql/var/myhostname.err: No such file or directory Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/var... "
followed by alot more errors which basically say, "you don't have a var/
directory or a run/ directory". Is this addressed anywhere in the manual?
If I run "sudo ./bin/mysqld_safe", I get the "mysqld ended" error, and this is
what my .err file says about it:
"
Can't start server : Bind on unix socket: No such file or directory
030605 10:59:08 Do you already have another mysqld server running on socket:
/usr/local/mysql/run/mysql_socket ?
030605 10:59:08 Aborting
"
what's going on here, I've been trying to install this for 10 hours???
