Problem with mySQL and Mac OS X
Hi, I've recently been having some problems with mySQL on one of my OS X computers. It was working perfectly until I upgraded from OS 10.2.6 to OS 10.2.8, and now mysqld refuses to start up, showing the following -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mysql]$ sudo ./bin/mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/data 031220 01:08:05 mysqld ended [EMAIL PROTECTED] mysql]$ -- The error log shows the following: -- 031220 01:08:05 mysqld started 031220 1:08:05 Can't start server : Bind on unix socket: Permission denied 031220 1:08:05 Do you already have another mysqld server running on socket: /tmp/mysql.sock ? 031220 1:08:05 Aborting -- I've tried reinstalling mySQL, I've repaired permissions, I've also done some fairly radical things with permissions, but to no avail. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be incredibly grateful. I'm running mySQL (standard) 4.1.1a for MacOS X, running under MacOS 10.2.8.

Re: Problem with mySQL and Mac OS X
I'm running mysql 4.0.17 on Mac OS X 10.2.8 without problems. My first guess would be that the upgrade reset the permissions on /tmp, so now the mysql user doesn't have permission to create mysql.sock. Try cd /tmp sudo chmod 1777 . then see if mysqld will start. (While you're in /tmp, make sure there isn't an old mysql.sock still sitting there.)

Re: Problem reinstalling MySQL on Mac OS X
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, thanks for reporting this. I assume, you used the MySQL package from mysql.com? On Thu, 6 Mar 2003, Perry Arnold wrote: I installed the MySQL binary (4.0.11-gamma package) on my Mac OS X machine (version 10.2.4) and I couldn't get it to start up. When I run bin/mysqld_safe, I kept getting the error Fatal error: Can't open privilege tables: Table 'mysql.host' doesn't exist [note: I later figured out that I *think* I'm getting this error because my machine does not have a recognizable hostname (i.e. you can't look it up via normal DNS)]. Hmm, this case is currently not properly handled, indeed. Thanks for the hint! mysql_install_db simply aborts, if the host name cannot be resolved, but the error does not get fed back to the installer itself... After mucking around for quite a while without much success, I decided to start over and reinstall from scratch. So, I deleted my mysql directory and reinstalled from the Package. Now, when I try to run bin/mysqld_safe, I get the following error: InnoDB: Operating system error number 13 in a file operation. It looks like when you reinstall from the package, it skips the step where it changes file permissions of the data directory and its subdirectories. How-To-Repeat: On a fresh MacOS X 10.2.4 system, (1) install the 4.0.11-gamma package, (2) delete the mysql directories (the /usr/local/mysql link and /usr/local/mysql-standard-4.0.11-gamma-apple-darwin6.4-powerpc directory), (3) install the 4.0.11 package again, (4) run bin/mysqld_safe. Fix: Change the file permissions of the data directory and its subdirectories. Ideally, this would be fixed within the Package installer, but a release note or something would work as well. This is interesting. Are you sure you removed all mysql directories in /usr/local? The installation package includes a postinstall script, that does the following: [SNIP] if cd /usr/local/mysql ; then if [ ! -f data/mysql/db.frm ] ; then ./scripts/mysql_install_db fi if [ -d data ] ; then chown -R mysql data fi else exit $? fi [SNIP] /usr/local/mysql is a symlink, pointing to the real installation directory and is included in the package itself. So if you really removed all files, the ownerships should have been set up correctly. Unfortunately it's very hard to debug this problem, since the Package Installer does not offer any logging functionality... After looking through your mail again, I wonder how you tried to start MySQL. Did you use sudo mysqld_safe, as described in the docs? If you try it as a normal user (omitting sudo, the directory permissions and ownerships indeed will give you a permission denied error message. This is intentional!

Problem installing mySql on Mac OS X
I am having a few problems with the install. First off Mac OS X does not support the groupadd or useradd commands.

Re: Problem installing mySql on Mac OS X
This site has precompiled MySQL binaries for Mac OS X: http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/mysql/ It also has easy to follow installation instructions. You need to use your Users utility to add the MySQL user instead of the useradd and groupadd commands. Complete instructions are at the site.
