MySql on 10.4



Hi folks,

Well, I've tried all sorts of things to get MySql up and running on 10.4 but nothing seems to work.
I've destroyed all MySql files using Marc Liyanage's script at http:// www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/mysql/remove-old-mysql.sh and then performed a clean install.


Invoking MySql from the command line gives the dreaded "ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/ mysql.sock' (2)".

This suggests that MySql isn't actually running (confirmed by a quick trip to 'top' in the terminal) so I tried to start it up manually (all the chown stuff is because of the clean install):

cd /usr/local/mysql
sudo chown -R mysql data/
sudo echo
sudo ./bin/mysqld_safe &

But this just gives:
"MyMachine:/usr/local/mysql me$ Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/data
STOPPING server from pid file /usr/local/mysql/data/MyMachine.local.pid
050602 00:27:57 mysqld ended"


I've read about using "old style passwords" but a lot of the fixes I've seen presume you can actually get MySql running in order to connect and change the password style.

How's everybody else getting along with the Tiger/MySql issue?

Many TIA
Ian
