As much as it pains me to help you after the treatment I received from you... The problem is that you aren't able to connect to the MySQL database. Unfortunately the OS X frontend doesn't fail gracefully in that situation. However, if you launch it from a terminal, you'll see error messages.

You'll need to either compile the plugins yourself or download a dmg containing all the plugins like from http://thesniderpad.com I'm assuming you are running backend on a different machine. If you download pre-compiled binaries you need to make sure the protocol versions match up. If they don't, you'll see something like "Protocol version mismatch (frontend=22,backend=15)" when trying to use a recent SVN frontend with 0.18.1 backend. If you are having problems establishing a connection to the backend, make sure MySQL on your backend is accepting remote connections (search the forums). If you can login from command line on the machine you're running front end from (search the forums), follow the instructions in the link you referenced to set up the database parameters correctly in FrontEnd. -Brad |
