I am trying to install MySQL on my Mac w/ Mavericks OS. Whenever I try sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server start
it shows an error The server quit without updating PID file (/usr/local/mysql/data/computername.local.pid
)
I've seen this error many times in the internet, but they solutions don't help me.
I have tried the following steps:
- Granting myself ownership of the
err
file - Deleting it manually
- Creating the PID file
What happens is that after creating the PID file, starting MySQL server shows SUCCESS
status. But then after that, the PID file gets deleted and the err file either shows up again if deleted or just removes my ownership. It is really frustrating.
Is there another work around for installing MySQL on OS X Mavericks?
I'm having the same issue, have you ever found a solution? – Pierre – 2014-02-22T08:37:59.050
Nope I haven't. I now have a macbook with Mountain Lion and everything works perfectly. But I think I came across something in the internet about the installation of MySQL at OS X Mavericks when I already got myself a Mountain Lion. – SleepNot – 2014-02-24T01:38:16.040
