I cannot get MySQL to work under Tiger. I installed v 4.1.12 and everything looks OK. However, when I start MySQL, while there are no errors, it will not start mysqld (or mysqld immediately stops silently). Can anyone help me?
It works great for me on several machines. There are some small permissions adjustments you need to do. I can’t tell them to you off the top of my head, but I know that you can find them on entropy.ch pages in the software -> mysql area.
Thanks for the reference. The only thing I found was mention of changing the ownership of the mysql/data directory. That was already done in my case. Were you thinking of something else or was that it?
Are you running on a Tiger server or client?
I have some experience on 10.4 server, that I will be
happy to share, if it is useful.Bo S
Not having heard from Bo_S is there anyone else that can help me. I have gone through several rounds of uninstalling and installing with no success. Its the same problem every time. After running ‘configure’ I run ‘bin/safe_mysqld’ which outputs the ‘Starting’ message then immediately outputs the ‘STOPPING’ message. No errors and no logs, that I can find, to tell me why it won’t run. TIA.
Try starting it like this:
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --basedir=/usr/local/mysql --datadir=/usr/local/mysql/data --user=mysql

Thanks, this was the key. It finally gave me an error message that told me what was wrong. I had to fix a permissions problem and now I’m up an running.
Also, idk if you’ll see this thread, but it’s advised that everyone run:
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_secure_installation
..as root and follow along. It’ll do things like delete the password-less root account, drop the test table, and some other things. Very handy.
