I've just installed MySQL 4 4.1.12_1 +server using darwinports but I can't seem to get past this error. After installing it tells me that it cold not resolve my IP.
Mattys-iMac-G5:/opt/local/bin matty$ sudo -u mysql ./mysql_install_db Password: WARNING: The host 'Mattys-iMac-G5' could not be looked up with resolveip. This probably means that your libc libraries are not 100 % compatible with this binary MySQL version. The MySQL daemon, mysqld, should work normally with the exception that host name resolving will not work. This means that you should use IP addresses instead of hostnames when specifying MySQL privileges ! Installing all prepared tables 050910 15:52:28 [Warning] Setting lower_case_table_names=2 because file system for /opt/local/var/db/mysql/ is case insensitive Fill help tables 050910 15:52:30 [Warning] Setting lower_case_table_names=2 because file system for /opt/local/var/db/mysql/ is case insensitive I ignore this and try and start mysqld using cd /opt/local ; /opt/local/bin/mysqld_safe & but it won't work. It says Mattys-iMac-G5:/opt/local/bin matty$ cd /opt/local ; /opt/local/bin/mysqld_safe & [1] 18533 Mattys-iMac-G5:/opt/local matty$ chown: /opt/local/var/Mattys-iMac-G5.err: Operation not permitted Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /opt/local/var STOPPING server from pid file /opt/local/var/Mattys-iMac-G5.pid 050910 16:09:32 mysqld ended Can anyone advise me on what's going on with the the mysqld not starting? Typing "mysql" at the prompt tells me: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/opt/local/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) Very confused as to why it isn't working.
