I tried (and got back) this: [mbase:~] ted% safe_mysqld touch: /usr/var/mbase.err: No such file or directory chown: mysql: invalid user name Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/var /usr/bin/safe_mysqld: no such file or directory: /usr/var/mbase.err [229] /usr/bin/safe_mysqld: no such file or directory: /usr/var/mbase.err [235] tee: /usr/var/mbase.err: No such file or directory 020126 02:10:54 mysqld ended tee: /usr/var/mbase.err: No such file or directory
This was the first time I'm trying to start MySQL. What does this mean, i.e., what's the problem and how do I remedy it (OS X)? Thank you in Advance.
