Paul,
Okay, then try adding the --user=mysql option to the command.
I killed the server (kill -9) and brought it back up with -Sg --user=mysql:
The result:
[localhost:/usr/local/mysql] root# /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld -Sg
--user=mysql
--- Here came some hints
Cannot initialize InnoDB as
Paul,
I do not know why, but it did not work. Please see yourself:
This lines I could not copy and paste because the results are on a not
connected Mac and this is a windows machine. So I had to write it by hand
(- but looked 2 times at the text)
Your example:
% ps ax | grep mysql
251 ?? S
