I did a clean install on my Macbook Pro this morning, part of the clean install means, re-downloading things like MySQL.
When I installed it, I noticed that the pref-pane wouldn’t start MySQL. Even when it asked for my admin password. I thought maybe it was a boot up issue, so I rebooted, and got an error telling me that the permissions for the start up item were in secure.
Here’s what I did to debug/fix the problem.
[arrow_list]
- Change permission of /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM/MySQLCOM
- edit /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server and edited line 46 and 47 to say
[/arrow_list]
[break]
[content_box style="gray-box" title="Change file ownership"]
chown -R root:wheel /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM
[/content_box]
[content_box style="yellow-box" title="Edit mysql.server file"]
basedir=/usr/local/mysql
datadir=/usr/local/mysql/data
[/content_box]
[break]
There is already a bug filed for this..
