I tried installing mySql on OS X 10.2.3, following the instructions at http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/mysql/ . I wanted to set a password for the MySQL root user , so I typed:
./bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password' (with, of course, a password in place of 'new password'
I got the following error:
./bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' exists!
I figured the daemon wasn't yet running, so I tried to start it up with
\localhost:/usr/local/mysql] jspivack% cd . ; ./bin/safe_mysqld &
and I got the following error messages:
[localhost:/usr/local/mysql] jspivack% touch: /usr/local/mysql/data/localhost.err: Permission denied
chown: /usr/local/mysql/data/localhost.err: No such file or directory
Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/data
./bin/safe_mysqld: /usr/local/mysql/data/localhost.err: Permission denied
./bin/safe_mysqld: /usr/local/mysql/data/localhost.err: Permission denied
tee: /usr/local/mysql/data/localhost.err: Permission denied
030117 16:19:58 mysqld ended
tee: /usr/local/mysql/data/localhost.err: Permission denied
I also tried
sudo ./bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql &
that gave me a password prompt, but when i enter my administrator password, I get a "command not found" error.
any idea what I'm doing wrong here??? thanks for the help...
