Hi folks,
in the instructions at https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/MySQL (written
to MySQL56, though I'm using the same instructions to install MySQL57
instead), it says to run
sudo -u _mysql mysql_install_db
Doing so for MySQL57 gives the message:
[WARNING] mysql_install_db is deprecated. Please consider switching to
mysqld --initialize
I tried
sudo -u _mysql mysqld --initialize
but that gave me
[ERROR] --initialize specified but the data directory has files in it.
Aborting.
which appears to be true.... Is there a different command I should be
using, or are there some missing options which need to be specified?
When I load MySQL and try to connect I get
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/opt/local/var/run/mysql57/mysqld.sock' (2)
Any hints on where I'm going wrong?
Thanks
