Hello all --
after I successfully installed mysql and the server port using
macports, I rebooted, then I’ve been trying to create the initial
database but it just won’t work. I researched this all day and it
still won’t work. I’m on Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.8 and I keep on
getting this error message when I execute the command to install
the db:
sudo /opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/mysql_install_db --user=mysql
I have heard unverified reports that using a user alias does not work
for some things.
Try:
/opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/mysql_install_db --user=_mysql
Also, to verify a user:
dscl . read Users/mysql
dscl . read Users/_mysql
