Manually Starting & Stopping MySQL in Leopard

to mysql osx start leopard stop mysql5 source built by minofare on Jan 22, 2008
This is for software built from source according to:
http://hivelogic.com/articles/installing-mysql-on-mac-os-x/

Start MySQL
sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.mysql.mysqld.plist


Stop MySQL
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.mysql.mysqld.plist


MySQL 5 macports setup

to mysql setup start stop mysql5 socket by minofare on Jan 16, 2008 2 Comments
You have to symlink mysql to the location on osx

first find out where mysql has put the socket:
mysql_config5 --socket

Next symlink /tmp/mysql.sock to the right location of the socket
sudo ln -s path-of-mysql.sock-from-above /tmp/mysql.sock


Start MySQL
sudo /opt/local/share/mysql5/mysql/mysql.server start

or
/opt/local/bin/mysqld_safe5


Stop MySQL
sudo /opt/local/share/mysql5/mysql/mysql.server stop

Setup LAMP on Ubuntu with MyODBC support.

to apache php mysql odbc myodbc by minofare on Jan 07, 2008
Go to terminal:

sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php5 php5-odbc libapache2-mod-php5 php5-xsl php5-gd php-pear libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql libmyodbc


Now hand edit (or create, if it does not exist already) /etc/odbc.ini

Here's an example odbc.ini:

[ODBC Data Sources]
odbcname     = MyODBC 3.51 Driver DSN

[odbcname]
Driver       = /usr/lib/odbc/libmyodbc.so
Description  = MyODBC 3.51 Driver DSN
SERVER       = my.database.server.com
PORT         =
USER         = USER
Password     = XXXXXX
Database     = DBNAME
OPTION       = 3
SOCKET       =

[Default]
Driver       = /usr/local/lib/libmyodbc3.so
Description  = MyODBC 3.51 Driver DSN
SERVER       = localhost
PORT         =
USER         = root
Password     =
Database     = test
OPTION       = 3
SOCKET       =


Remember to start and stop mysql and apache:

sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start

sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Give remote access to mysql

to mysql remote access by minofare on Jan 07, 2008 
mysql -u root -p (your password)


then write the following

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO user@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD';


then

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Remove Existing MySQL Installations

to mysql osx installer remove symlink uninstall by minofare on Jan 03, 2008
If you already have MySQL installed and used the package installer from MySQL to install it, you need to remove a single file (actually a symlink) to disable it:

sudo rm /usr/local/mysql


If you also installed the StartupItem package, you’ll want to remove it as well. Keep in mind that if you ever want to auto-start the old version of MySQL later on, you’ll need to re-download the package installer and reinstall the StartupItem.

sudo rm -rf /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM/

Change Root user password

to mysql password root change by minofare on Jan 03, 2008 


mysql -h localhost -u root
mysql> USE mysql;
mysql> UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD('root-pwd') WHERE user='root';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> EXIT

MySQL add user

to mysql user add by minofare on Jan 03, 2008 
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'user'@'localhost'
    ->     IDENTIFIED BY 'some_pass' WITH GRANT OPTION;

Macports MySQL 5 startup on launch

to mysql macports startup mysql5 by minofare on Jan 03, 2008
A startup item has been generated that will aid in starting mysql5 with launchd. It is disabled by default. Execute the following command to start it, and to cause it to launch at startup:
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5.plist
