SVOOP  Version 5.0.51 has just been released, however, it doesn't work out of the box on my Mac with OS X 10.5.2.

I've filed a bug report that contains a workaround that circumvents the permissions issues. However, this is okay for a development Mac like min, you MUST NOT do it on a production system.

STORMCHILD  Thanks, it works! I recently found a "fix" to get the preference pane working in Leopard, but it didn't work for me. This "official" fix works great though.

JMROSSOL  thanks so much for this link. I stumbled on this form about a year after my original post-- and have been booting via command line for too long.

For those of you who need more info... this pref. pane works for those who did the custom work-around in the previous posts on this topic. Worth trying at any rate... you can't harm your computer.

VINCENTJ  Yes. MySQL 5.0.45 is working with Leopard. But you have to setup a path with the commands :

sudo mkdir /var/mysql/

sudo ln-s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/mysql/mysql.sock

Note that MySQL PreferencePane is not working correctly.

PHP 5.2.4 is already installed in leopard (but not activated).

SVOOP  It's a permissions issue. This will solve it "brute force", I'm too lazy to figure out exactly which permissions misbehave for my development only system.

sudo chmod -R a=rwX mysql-5*

Here's more:

JMROSSOL  After trying a number of solutions... I found that this set of instructions got the stock 5.0.45 install working with Leopard.

http://www.nabble.com/MySQL-Install-on-OS-X-Leoperd-t4699997.html

The key is to start the server first and then run VincentJ's code...

note... there should be a space before the"-s"

sudo ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/mysql/mysql.sock

TEKSESTRO  Unfortunately, many developers seem to believe that MySQL is a 'free' product, when it isn't. Its licensing scheme is quite restrictive for professional production.

Although newer versions are more stable, have more of the *basic, required* features that make a database engine a 'true' database system (such as foreign key support, and transaction rollback), the truth is that there are other systems out there - such as the excellent and much under-used PostreSQL - which, in my experience, have a less restrictive license, are more advanced, supporting more standard features, and still just as cross-platform.

OSXFACTOR  What happened to the package installer? I installed the x86 version two weeks ago, and it had a packaged installer. I had to reinstall today (reinstalled the OS), and all of the installers on MySQL's site are command line only. I'm certain I got the Mac x86 packaged installer from MySQL's site. What happened to it?

GRANTNEUFELD  The MySQL package for Mac OS X makes the basic installation procedure a snap (as opposed to the old process that required building and installing it from the command line). The System Preferences pane is handy, too - although it could do with providing access to a few more options, too.

You still have to do a bit of manual setup, but it's getting easier and easier.

Be sure to get the free MySQL Administrator application (also from MySQL AB) for a Mac OS X graphical front end to administration of MySQL.

ANONYMOUS  No problem with opening .dmg

Take care to download the right version for your OSX 10.x

Easy install.

I manage my databases with phpMyAdmin.

For Mathematica afficionados : don't forget that Mathematica can connect (but you need to update to mysql-connector-java-3.1.10-bin.jar) to mysql databases, manages queries and handles datas. A delight.

ANONYMOUS  Does not work.

I've tried installing this about 4 times, following the instructions PRECISELY, and this thing just refuses to run. A web search reveals this happens to MANY people.

If you can't make a package that'll run and install correctly, don't bother putting out a product!
