Hi Daniel, You are not alone in your quest to successfully start the mysqld server on a Mac OSX platform.

Ok, I've read the release notes, the manual, the threads on this brmailing list, installed/removed/re-installed about 5 times, tried br4.0.1, 4.1, 5.0, and I can't get MySQL to run on my Mac (dual-proc br867MHz, 768MB RAM).

If I try to run mysqladmin -u root password password brjust like the manual tells me to, it aborts as above and tells me to brrun mysqld (or mysqld_safe). The manual tells me I can just click on brthe dmg file and follow the instructions.

Re: So, how do you REALLY install MySQL in Mac OS X (Panther)?!
I think this is the package I used. The one that I used actually wrote and init script so if you reboot mysql will start automagically. I think this is the one.

This one actually installs a preference pane that allow you to manipulate settings, start/stop server, and change root password.

I installed MySql 4.0.x on MacOs 10.2.x and it works fine. There are some problems of permissions: check /tmp and mysql data directory. Santino -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Sorry to rant, but I've been working on this for three days now. - Dan P.S. Any notes on using it with Xcode would be appreciated, too. Dan, I started with mysql 4.0.15 on 10.2.1 and am currently running 4.0.17 on 10.3.2, so the good news is that this should be possible for you. I can imagine your frustration at this point, but you haven't provided enough information to diagnose the problem. I can tell that the server, mysqld, is failing to start for you, so none of the steps after that (mysqladmin, for example) will work until that problem is fixed, as they all require a running server. Because it is often the problem, and easy to fix, I'll go out on a limb and guess the problem may be the permissions on your /tmp directory. (At least one of the Mac OS X updates incorrectly sets the permissions on /tmp.) MySQL runs as the mysql user, so that user must have permission to create the socket (/tmp/mysql.sock) in /tmp. In the terminal, try this cd /tmp ls -l The second line of output from ls (the one with ./) should look like this drwxrwxrwt 5 root wheel 170 22 Jan 17:00 ./ If it does not, you should run sudo chmod 1777 . then try to start mysql (sudo mysqld_safe) again. As I said, that was just a guess. If that's not it, we'll need more information to properly diagnose the problem. The first thing to do is look at the error log. I expect you have mysql installed in /usr/local/mysql, with data and log files in /usr/local/mysql/data. In the data directory there should be a file named hostname.err (where hostname is the name of your computer). This file should contain a line or two explaining why mysql failed to start up. If you need further help, tell us what error message you get when you try mysqld_safe (copy/paste), what hostname.err says, what version of mysql, and what version of OS X you have.
