James, Hey James! I'm also running MySQL on OS X. Maybe I can lend a hand. First question, are you running this on an X-Serve?
So you're doing the following # (1) Going to the mysql directory. cd /usr/local/mysql # (2) Kicking off mysql using the mysqld_safe script. sudo -v <enter password> sudo mysqld_safe --user=mysql & However, from looking at the output you pasted. It doesn't look like MySQL isn't starting up (nothing about the daemon shutting down). How are you seeing its not up? Use the ampersand at the end of the line or you'll lose the terminal session. Once you've kicked off mysql type "mysqladmin version" to confirm the server is online. If you downloaded the absolute most recent version, you should see the result "4.0.15-standard" (or something like it). Drop me a note. Let me know the 411.

The problem is the server won't start and there don't seem to be any logs available to help diagnose the problem. I've tried both sudo safe_mysqld Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/data sudo /Library/StartupItems/MySQL start Starting MySQL database server Any help greatly appreciated! jim -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
