In accord with the installation instructions, I used Marc Liyanages' startup item installer. Since then, I have removed the every vestige of
my MySQL installation following the instructions given by Lenz Grimmer.
BUT,
At startup, the computer says something about starting a MySQL server. Could it be that the startup item is still trying to start mysqld even though it no longer exists and in the process is tying up port 3306? (I'm grasping at straws here. I tried manually installing the latest 3.0 version and when I tried to run safe_mysqld it said that libexec/mysqld did not exist, and, sure enough, there wasn't even a libexec directory.)
Please, please, please, if anyone thinks they could get me to the point of having a running mysql system on OS X, I'd really appreciate the help.
I teach high school, and I desperately need to set up a database of practice questions for my students who are taking the AP Computer Science exam. I'm working on Java programs to read in the questions and quiz students on questions they haven't successfully answered yet, but it's hard to be successful at that if I don't have a working mysql installation. Each student has entered 6 or 7 questions as an XML document, and I just have to get them into the database and set up a quiz program.
Thanks, Todd
