Problems starting mysql, solution

February 12th, 2008 at 1:40 pm — Phil Crosby (not verified)

When starting mysql, my server would start and then immediately stop. The problem was that the macports mysql config was set up to start mysql as a specific user.

I edited the cnf file /opt/local/etc/mysql5/my.cnf and changed the user to root. Then I ran sudo mysql_install_db5 and was then able to start the server. You could also just create the user that my.cnf is expecting.

Thanks for the helpful writeup Chad.
