Re: Trouble starting mysql 4.1.1 on Mac

[Brent Baisley]

I assume when you tried to start MySQL from the command line you used 
safe_mysqld. You may not be seeing the error messages that would tell 
you why it's not starting. Try starting mysql directly.
cd /usr/local/mysql
sudo ./bin/mysqld

You'll probably see an error message that is a bit more helpful.

I just downloaded and installed mysql 4.1.1 on a Macintosh G5, but I 
cannot get it to start up. I first tried manual startup using the unix 
commands as detailed in the manual. I kept getting the message mysql 
shutting down before I could hit ctl-Z. Then when I tried to connect, 
it stated:

 "ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through 
socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)"

I then tried installing the automatic startup routine, restarted the 
computer and running mysql and I get the same message.
