I'm having trouble keeping MySQL running on my computer (PowerBook G3
-Firewire, 576MB RAM, G3/400 - 40GB HD with plenty free in the main
OS X partition). I'm running OS X 10.1.3.
1. I installed MySQL (binary) in \Users\hill\MySQL\ directory
(logged in as me/hill, not root)
2. I can run the install and safe_mysqld and initially get the
database up and running.
I can log in as root (database not OS), assign passwords. I can
even load PHPMyAdmin and manage the databases.
3. If I restart the computer or log-off/log-on, I've received
different errors.
The main error is "Error 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL
server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)".
I've also gotten an error that the current user is not
authorized or some other issue with password. I can't connect
to the database to test out what the 'password' is supposed to
be. So then .....
4. If I delete the \data\ directory contents, I can reinstall and go
through the process again.
It will work well until I do a sleep or restart and then I must
delete and do everything all over.
I'm somewhat new to UNIX (used it many years ago) and don't know all
the tricks, tests but am not uncomfortable digging around for fixes.
And I know there are too many folks with success that it's obviously
something on/about my system, but not sure where to dive in. Can
someone give me an idea as to why the database won't keep running or
at least some things to check for?
Thanks in advance for any help.
