Just my two cents...

A couple days ago, I posted a careful message of my troubles, but no reply to date. Remember, after I tried to assign a password for the root user, it broke.
Since then, I discovered that Mac OS X refuses to let me create a user account called 'mysql'. Apparently that account comes preconfigured since the latest version (Panther). But since I had an account by that name before I installed Panther, but then deleted in a misguided attempt to fix my problems, I was in a boat. I created a new dummy account, then used NetInfoManager to rename everything. Then I used Terminal to rename the home directory, and SharePoints to add the new user to the mysql account and delete the dummy group. Then I used Terminal to change the group of all the stuff in the new home directory.
So now it has quit complaining about the chown command, but it still quits immediately when I try to run mysqld_safe, as follows:
[iMac-dv:/usr/local/mysql] kj% cd /usr/local/mysql [iMac-dv:/usr/local/mysql] kj% sudo bin/mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/data 040407 09:55:25 mysqld ended
[iMac-dv:/usr/local/mysql] kj%
I would be happy to just kill it and start over.
