Configuring MySQL On Mac OS X


I recently tried to install MySQL on Mac OS X box using these instructions on the Mac site (http://developer.apple.com/internet/macosx/osdb.html). All was working fine until I got to this part here:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --with-unix-socket-path=/usr/local/mysql/run/mysql_socket --with-mysqld-user=mysql --with-comment --with-debug

I got a bunch of "file not found" errors so I wanna trash whatever I did and start from scratch, but I don't know what exactly to delete? Does anyone have an idea about this?

Installing And Configuring MySQL
System: MAC 10.3.2 G4 workstation

For the past three weeks I am trying to do the "simple" install. But of course it never works the way it reads. I have followed the FAQ and install descriptions that came with the package <http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Mac_OS_X_installation.html>
but i am stuck. At the moment I need to create a database and set the root password. i have no idea why it is not working. the following is the command line and error I am getting. Can someone please help me to install this properly?

Error Configuring Mysql?
I have installed MySQL CE 5.0, but during the configuration wizard I get an error.

It has frozen up during the final step (MySQL Server Instance
Configuration). I'm installing it on Windows XP, and I used all the
default settings, except that I changed "Detailed Configuration" to
"Standard Configuration". At the "Start Service" item in the checklist,
I got a 1045 error message saying to allow TCP port 3306. I tried
creating a rule for this in Norton, but it didn't seem to work.

So then I turned off Norton completely, restarted, tried the wizard, and
now it puts a red 'x' in the "Start service" checklist and says "The
service could not be stopped. Error: 0".

So I don't know if this is really a Norton/firewall issue or not. I
can't seem to get around this final step.

Configuring MySQL For JDBC ?
I'm having a MySQL DB running on one machine and a Java-Tool which accesses this DB via JDBC. With this tool, I can add a second DB data source in form of a mySQL DB and I've installed one more MySQL DB on a third machine, which runs perfect, but the access from the java-tool via JDBC-connection doesn't work.

Command line "mysql" tool work perfect from the machine where the java tool is running. The company which coded the java-tool told me that I have to install a package for the mysql db which enables jdbc. Is that right and what do I have to configure ?

Configuring MySQL With Tomcat

Configuring MYSQL Enterprise Monitor
I was given the setup files for configuring the MYSQL Enterprise Monitor with dashboard for testing in Local.

1. I have installed MYSQL Server to my localhost [Windows].
MYSQL SERVER Version: 5.0.50sp1a-enterprise-gpl-nt.

I.e I just want to know about the Server setting like how to add my localhost server to the Mysql Enterprise Monitor.

We have a Enterprise Subscription but as iam just a developer i dont have the login id so can i get help from here?

Software Rollout: Configuring Mysql Driver
When rolling out software that uses a mysql backend, how is it possible to configure the odbc driver for mysql during the installation process of the software?

Is there anyway to do this via command line, installshield, batch files..? What would one do if individuals were not "computer literate", and would not how to go about setting up the driver themselves or to make it easier, the software would automatically do it for them?

Configuring MyODBC
I am using MyODBC 3.51 with Borland BDE, and was having a problem whereby Blob result fields were being restricted to a maximum size of 32k. Now, in the BDE control panel, I can set configuration variables for the MyODBC driver, and I was able to change the value of BLOB SIZE from 32 to 128, which solved the problem. However, there are many other configuration variables there (TRACE MODE, BATCH COUNT, BLOBS TO CACHE, ENABLE SCHEMA CACHE, ROWSET SIZE, etc.) for which I have not been able to find any documentation. Does anybody know where I can find documentation for these settings?

I'm stuck as what to do next.

Configuring The Service In Each Start Up?
A couple of weeks ago I posted several questions in one post, and I think I overwhelmed people, so I'm breaking it into individual questions this time.

I don't know why but everytime I use MySQL I need to reconfigure the server using the wizard(I go to start>programs>mysql>MySQL server 4.1>MySQL service instance config wizard) everytime I turn my computer on. If I don't, I get a "ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)" error when trying to connect to the server in any account. I don't have to change anything when I run the wizard, I just click next all the way, and when its done I can connect normally.

I've noticed that at the end of the configuration when its running through all the tasks, the last one says "Sart service". I'm guessing that I'm not starting the mysql service when I turn my computer on, and that reconfiguring the service solves the problem because it starts the service for me. Do I have to reconfigure the service everytime I want to use it? Is there another way or maybe start the service automatically?

Configuring XAMPP In The Domain
I am installing my XAMPP in my pc.

It works fine. Everything works. My question is, is it possible to install XAMPP inside in my domain e.g., www.mydomain.com/xampp. Please help me to configure it using the domain, not in the localhost.

Configuring Database Server
tell me a way to increase the productivity of a database server. It has nothing else installed other than the newest production version of mysql and the default packages from FreeBSD.

Error Configuring PhpMyAdmin
I'm trying to install phpMyAdmin on a test server. I am using the GUI to create the configuration script.I would like to use HTTP mothod for authentication. As the guide says, I need to create a user and grant some privileges to the user. Here is the problem.
mysql -u root -p
INSERT INTO `user` (Host, User, Password) VALUES('localhost','pma',PASSWORD('something'));
Next I try to grant privileges, but receive an error:

GRANT USAGE ON mysql.* TO 'pma'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'something';

Error 1133 (42000) Can't find any matching row in the user table.
Now I know the user is there...If I do

SELECT * FROM `user` WHERE User='pma';

I get results, 1 row in set. The password is encrypted, but I did double check with the original user creation line and it is the same and typed in correctly. localhost is also there.So why is it not finding any user when I want to grant privileges?

Configuring Script For Mbstring And Pconnect
i was told i need to "configure your script to use pconnect (persistent connections) to the mysql database.". because "Your site is creating too many concurrent connections (20 is a reasonable limit).".

as well i need to figure out how to add the mbstring function on mysql, so that my pages with special characters (french characters), will load up properly.

Configuring A Database On A Remote Server
i have an aplication on .net for web, with mysql db, in my local server i have no problems, but recently i upload the aplication into a bougt host; when i open the page on the internet explorer or firefox, the page loads well, except for one simple grid. in another part of the aplication i try to insert a record, the app gave the me no error message, but when i check the table, there's nothing new.

i don't if i configuring something wrone, on the web.config. and the worse of all if that i dont get any error?

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't Connect To Local MySQL Server Through Socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13)
I have a problem connecting to sql and can't find anything on the net to solve the problem.

I have some sql databases running on a server. when I'm root on the server and I want to login to sql I do "mysql -ustudent -p -Dwordnet30 and it works fine. when I'm logged in with the user account on the server, i get this error message:

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13)

so with the same user name in mysql, i can log on when i'm root, but not when i'm the user. the grant table for the user looks like this: Code:

Can't Connect To Local MySQL Server Through Socket '/home/data/mysql/mysql.sock' (13)
I just installed mysql on linux. If I open a terminal, su to root,
then type "mysql", I am able to connect to the server and run my
queries.

If I exit out of su so that I am my own id (baisley) and type "mysql",
I get this error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/home/data/mysql/mysql.sock' (13)

Any idea why? mysql.sock has full permissions (read/write/execute), so
it should be accessable by user baisley. If I am baisley and I run
"mysql -u mysql" (as mysql is the user that the RPM set up), it will
connect.

What I would like to be able to do is run this without having to be
user mysql all the time. How do I go about setting that up, or is it
better to run all my queries/make tables as 1 user?

PROBLEM: (The heart of the matter)
Starting simple, created GridView Control using Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express, a few glitches here and there, used the MySQL Connector/ODBC v5.00.11 followed instructions. Can see database in Database Connections Window but when I try to connect the GridView Control to it I get:

"Database schema could not be retrieved for this connection. Please make sure the connection settings are correct and that the database is online.

ERROR [HY000][MySQL][MyODBC 5.00.11][MySQL] 2006 MySQL server has gone away"

Had thought that "Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express" might be messing with the ODBC driver so thought to download the .NET Connector. That's when it all went bad. The documentation does not say how to install or use the connector or where to put the files. It seems to assume that these bits of information are common knowledge and I suppose that if I had kept up with the technology it might be. But alas I didn't and it Isn't and It Don't work.

I've checked paths and connection settings and don't see any problems. My guess is now that the problem is coming from the opening and closing of the DB. my script, c_register.php uses a require_once('../mysql_connect.php') to open the connection to the database. But I also have a function definition in c_register.php that uses require_once('../mysql_connect.php') when called because it needs a connection to the DB. Here's a visual that might help:

MySQL Error Number 2003 :: Can't Connnect To MySQL Server On 'hostname'(10065)
I was running an older version of the query browser a while back to connect to an older version of mySQL (3.0) running on a linux box. The server hasn't changed, but the query browser has been upgraded to 1.1.10. I can't go back to the older version of the query browser because the machine that ran it got re-formatted so I downloaded the new version and installed it.

So ... I get the following error when I try to connect:

MySQL Error Number 2003

Interestingly, I wrote a simple PHP script to connect to the server and pull some data off of it:

How To Configure MySQL ODBC Driver To Connect To A Mysql Server On My Own Side Of The Router?
Using MS Access, I have attached to MySQL servers in other states
and other countries on the other side of my router. But when I use the
MySQL ODBC driver 3.51 to connect to a MySQL server on my own LAN,
the driver tells me it cannot make the connection. Here are the ODBC
driver connection parms:

Data Source Name: (free field - name my "my linux box" will do nicely)
Host/Server Name (or IP) - something like MSQLUserName@ServerName.net
has worked fine for me in the past. Now I'm trying 192.168.1.106
Database Name - whatever, mysqldb works fine, any valid db

User - root
Password - myrootpass

Port - 3306 has worked fine 4 me N the past. Dunno whether 2 use now
SQL Command On Connect - haven't ever put anything here

Perhaps there is some configuration in mysql user privilege for the
mysqluser "root" that would prevent him from logging from a remote PC
to the mysql server?

MySQL Error 2013: Lost Connection To MySQL Server During Query

Table Rows Inserted By Embeddded MySQL Cannot Be Retrieved By MySQL Tcp Client
I have encountered a weird behavoir of embedded MySQL. Through a
simple program I made (in Delphi 6), I can insert rows to a table
through embedded MySQL and I can retrieve the rows from my program.

But using mysql.exe which points to the same table (through 127.0.0.1,
with the same basedir and datadir), I cannot see the rows I inserted
using my embedded program. Another way around, the rows inserted by
mysql.exe can be seen in my embedded program. But after a row is
inserted by mysql.exe, the rows inserted by the embedde program are
deleted (or cannot be queried).

Can anybody explain why is this? Is there a way to fix it?

MySQL Variables, Modifying Microsoft SQL Sequence Insert For Use In Mysql
I have the following microsoft SQL statement that inserts 25 new

Can't Connect To Local MySQL Server Through Socket '/tmp/mysql.sock'
I've installed MySQL-4.0.14 under RedHat 8, using both rpm's and compiling

connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock'

After much searching on Google, and reading many newsgroup threads on this
error, as well as reading the manual, I'm still stumped. Most of the
advice I've found suggests that the path to mysql.sock is wrong, which
makes sense, but I don't have the file mysql.sock anywhere on my machine,
so obviously I can't correct the path.

Can't Connect To Local MySQL Server Through Socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
I just got mysql 5, from mysql 3 or 4 (can't remember it's been so long). I can't seem to get a connection. I searched and found http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/unix-post-installation.html#starting-server

Here is what it says to do, I don't know enough to be able to follow. Please advise:

If you have problems starting the server, here are some things to try:

* Check the error log to see why the server does not start.
ME: How? Where?
* Specify any special options needed by the storage engines you are using.
* Make sure that the server knows where to find the data directory.
ME: How?
* Make sure that the server can access the data directory. The ownership and permissions of the data directory and its contents must be set such that the server can read and modify them.

MySQL-error : Can't Connect To Local Mysql Server Through Socket
On a freshly installed Fedora C3 (incl. webserver apache php mysql) i get
the following problem when connecting to mysql through a browser
(phpMyAdmin)::

#2002 Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

On the website of MySQL this error is mentioned but I found no solution.

In /var/log/messages the following log occurs :
localhost kernel: audit(....): avc: denied {write}for pid=2458
exe=/usr/sbin/httpd name=mysql.sock dev=hda13 ...

What I have tried :

- mysql.sock is srwxrwxrwx, seems ok, but dont know what the s stands for
- the dir /var/lib/mysql was drwxr-xr-x and I changed it to drwxrwxrwx : no
effect
- tried different version of phpMyAdmin : same error
- installed my website and got the following error : No connection possible
with database (in the next version I will improve the error-messages)
- through commandline there is no problem in connecting to mysql (log in,
create databases, inserts, deletes, uploading dumps, making dumps, ....)

What is the solution or what else can I try ?

Remote Connection To MySQL DB Server From Client With No MySQL DB
I have MySQL server running on a Solaris machine. I have a Perl tool that is run on multiple operating systems (Linux, Solaris, MKS on windows, CYGWIN on windows). I would like to post to the MySQL database on the Solaris machine from this script when it is run on the different local clients. All these clients share a single network share (available via Samba on windows).

Is there a Perl module that I can install in the network share that I can use to connect remotely to the server DB?

MySql: Select Database And Perform Mysql Dump
I currently have a batch file created using shell which runs mysqldump and saves the information to a file. However, I was wondering if there would be a way to use a recordset instead to select the database and initiate the mysql dump.

rs.Open "Use database mysqldump  > C:", conn, 3, 3

Does anyone know if this is possible?
