You can not kill 3306. It is the TCP port. You have to try to figure out what process is listening (netstat command) and then kill it. You can also look at ps to find Mysql process.

Re: OS X Installation and Setup
After successfully setting up PostgreSQL and better understanding the user and permission problems I attempted to reinstall mySQL which had been running but b/c of permission stuff i could only access databases that began with test. I installed the OS X bundle with Startup module and then got the server up and running no problem but as soon as I tried to get the mysqladmin i got the infamous ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) later i tried again and it seems to have gotten worse, i looked into the .err file after the server wouldn't start up after i aborted the first time and this was what it had: 030922 16:37:52 mysqld started 030922 16:37:53 Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Address already in use 030922 16:37:53 Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ? 030922 16:37:53 Aborting I tried to kill 3306 and it claimed there was no such process I have a GUI fronted called MacSQL already installed that i was using before when I could only edit test_... db's in mySQL but I doubt that could be causing a problem since it didn't for PostgreSQL so i really don't know what is going on with this. Sorry to be bothering the list again but i followed the directions the best I could and this really shouldn't be this problematic, hopefully if i can get it work I can help clarify the documentation with my experiences.

Re: OS X Installation and Setup
Are you trying to run mysqld or mysqld_safe (or safe_mysqld)? If you are going to start mysql manually, you should be in the /usr/local/mysql directory and then type the following: sudo ./bin/mysqld_safe mysqld_safe is actually just a shell script that will launch and monitor mysqld to make sure it stays running. mysqld needs to run under the mysql account (or whatever account you created for it to run under). The script handles launching mysqld under the correct account. That's why you need to use sudo, so it can switch accounts from root to run the process. The at the end just tells the scripts to run in the background so that you get control of the terminal back and can even close your terminal session without causing the script to exit. The only time I ever try to run mysqld directly is if I'm having trouble getting things to launch, because then it will show the errors in the terminal session instead of logging them. But you do need to be one level up other mysqld won't be able to figure out the paths to all the supporting files. sudo ./bin/mysqld Should tell you what the problem is. There is a lot of great stuff on OS X on Marc Liyanage's website. He even has instructions on how to configure you computer to launch MySQL at startup. http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/ On Saturday, September 13, 2003, at 02:54 AM, Andy Callan wrote: Does the installation of the PKG itself finish successful?

Re: OS X Installation and Setup
Hi, It could be a permission problem on /tmp and/or mysql data directory. OR You have not mysql internal tables (host, user, etc) in data/mysql.

It generally prints an error that pretty much tells you what you need to do.

MySQL seems to be installed (as you can call mysqladmin, but the MySQL server itself does not seem to be running. Did you follow the instructions in the README? The MySQL server needs to be started first. I've tried installing, deleting, and reinstalling several times to try setting it up in different environments (e.g. as myself, logged in as root, autheticating as root when i'm logged in as myself) without success. Does the installation of the PKG itself finish successful? I was almost there one time I think but could not figure out what the mysqladmin -u root -h 'hostname' password password wanted for hostname, now I presume I should type exactly 'localhost' --is that correct? If you enter the command as directed in the manual, you will notice that the hostname command is enclosed in backticks (`). This means that it will automatically take the output of the hostname command as the value for the hostname field. However, MySQL needs to be started before you can work with mysqladmin! Any assistance as to what user I should be logged in as and what the exact sequence of commands i should run to set up the package (including deleting previous install) would be great, many thanks in advance. I assume you installed the official MySQL PKG packages from mysql.com. Then the installation should have put the files in /usr/local/mysql.
