Hello to all,
Please forgive me if this issue has been addressed but I can’t
get MySQL to auto start when I start my laptop. I am on a MacBook
Pro using OS 10.6.4 and can’t only get MySQL to start manually.
I recently purchased “BUILD YOUR OWN DATABASE DRIVEN WEB SITE
USING PHP & MYSQL BY KEVIN YANK 4TH EDITION”. I am following
along with the installation and installed the
MySQLStartupItem.pkg but when I power up my laptop I have to go
in Terminal and manually start MySQL. Did a SitePoint and Google
search but there is so many different options on what to do I
don’t think I am experience enough to find the correct solution.
Please assist I am new to web development and so ready to dig in
and learn.
OK now I have a bigger problem. I found an answer to my 1st
question and tried it with no results. Now I can’t even get MySQL
to connect, the message is as follows:
connect to server at ‘localhost’ failed
error: ‘Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket
‘/tmp/mysql.sock’ (2)’
Please help. I am about to get upset.
can I just run the install again and hope that will start a
clean slate?
