I've googled this and could'nt find anything new and useful for Apple's new OS SnowLeopard. I wonder if this is my mistake or I do need to do something?
this is what I did:
Downloaded from mysql site: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.1.html#macosx-dmg I choose : Mac OS X 10.5 (x86_64)
I run all the packages and installed all of them. So now I certainly have mysql in
/usr/local/mysql/
But when trying to start it from preferences panel, it is always STOPPED. When I try to do (in the terminal):
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql
I got :
-bash: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql: Bad CPU type in executable
What is wrong here? Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks
Okay... Finally I could install it! Why? or what I did? well I am not sure. first I downloaded and installed the package (I installed all the files(3) from the disk image) but I couldn't start it. (nor from the preferences panel, nor from the termial)
second I removed it and installed through mac ports.
again, the same thing. could not start it.
Now I deleted it again, installed from the package. (i am not sure if it was the exact same package but I think it is) Only this time I got the package from another site(its a mirror).
the site:
http://www.mmisoftware.co.uk/weblog/2009/08/29/mac-os-x-10-6-snow-leopard-and-mysql/
and the link:
http://mirror.services.wisc.edu/mysql/Downloads/MySQL-5.1/mysql-5.1.37-osx10.5-x86.dmg
1.- install mysql-5-1.37-osx10.5-x86.pkg
2.- install MySQLStartupItem.pkg
3.- install MySQL.prefpanel
And this time is working fine (even the preferences panel!)
Nothing special, I don't know what happened the first two times.
But thank you all. Regards.
