Mac OSX Leopard MySQL Issue Fixed

22 Apr 2008

Posted by Jake Rutter as Web

After installing the newest mySQL package, then trying to startup mySQL from my preference pane, it would simply not start. I did a quick search on Google and instantly found an article which helped. The advice given by the blog author did not work, but after reading through some comments I found the answer:

(Macbook Pro, Leopard, MySQL 5.1.23 pkg )

Start – sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server start
Stop – sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server stop

Important that you run that as root (sudo) otherwise mysql.sock doesn’t appear in /tmp/
