Adam,
Yes, that's how I'm starting it. There are 2 reasons that lead me to believe that it's
not running:
1. when I issue "mysql -h localhost test" I get this msg:
ERROR 2002: Can' connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/tmp/mysql.sock' (61)
2. when I issue "ps -auxww|grep mysql" I get no results other than the grep job
Just to be sure, I did this:
su (to root)
mysqld_safe --user=mysql &
and got there msgs:
Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/data
mysqld ended

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.
Regards,
Adam

Subject: Installation problem
I'm running OS X 10.2.8 and installed the latest OS X mysql package. 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!
