The above is possibly the commonest mistake, and it is easy to check and
correct.
One can easily determine which program is actually running by typing the
following
$ ps -ax | grep mysql
For example, if I run the above for postgres (I don't have mysql running to
demonstrate that), I get
$ps -ax | grep postgres
61697 ?? 0:00.11 /opt/local/bin/daemondo --label=postgresql91-server
--start-cmd
/opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.postgresql91-server/postgresql91-server.wrapper
start ; --stop-cmd
/opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.postgresql91-server/postgresql91-server.wrapper
stop ; --restart-cmd
/opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.postgresql91-server/postgresql91-server.wrapper
restart ; --pid=none
62940 ttys000 0:00.00 grep postgres
As is visible, it is the postgres version installed by MacPorts that is
running. MacPorts installs *everything* under /opt/local and nothing anywhere
else.
The next thing is to figure out which program will launch if you just type it
on the command line. The easiest way to determine that is to type
$ which <program name>
For example, with `pg_ctl` I get
$which pg_ctl
/opt/local/lib/postgresql91/bin/pg_ctl
Also, check your path by typing the following
$echo $PATH
That too will indicate which program will be launched if it were fired without
explicitly specifying the path.
