Thanks so much for the tip! I hadn’t needed to use mysql since upgrading to Leopard and started to get a headache at the prospect of fixing this. These steps worked perfectly!

@ menneke

I did a clean install of Leopard instead of Archive and Install but upon installing MySQL 5.0.45, I received the same error you did. Here is what I did to correct it.

1) Clean install of MySQL 5.0.45 using the OSX 10.4 package from mysql.com

2) Copied the contents of my previous data directory to the new one (/usr/local/mysql/data)

3) Changed owner to mysql sudo chown -R mysql /usr/local/mysql sudo chown -R mysql /usr/local/mysql-5.0.45-osx10.4-i686

4) Follow Joannou’s instructions above for replacing the Startup Item with a launchd config.

After that I had a working copy of MySQL 5.0.45 on Leopard.

Thanks for the great instructions!...

Thanks for the great instructions! This got me up and running again on MySQL quickly after I thought I had considered everything I’d need to fix after upgrading to Leopard.

For people who want to know more about Launchd, there’s a presentation by the developer here:

Enjoy!

Hi Joannou, I met you at Railsconf, you were staying with Enrique. Thanks for the info, it was very useful. Thought I would drop you a line because I moved to Shanghai and I’m doing Ruby on Rails full time now.

@Ray Zimmerman: Apple introduced launchd in Tiger to supersede the old ways.

Ray Zimmerman — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 13:32:01 GMT

Joannou, you mention twice the “preferred launchd”. Is this something that is just “preferred” by you personally, or is this now the standard Apple “preferred” mechanism for starting a daemon at boot?

Thanks for this, just what I needed. Never would have sorted it out otherwise.

Alan — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 15:41:33 GMT

This worked perfectly for me. My Erase and Install, followed by the “copy folders” in Migration Assistant, did repopulate /usr/local with all my old Tiger stuff, which I didn’t want (save for MySQL). So this way I could bring it back, get it running without the preference pane problem, and now that I have PHP5 running too my localhosting setup is just as good as it was before. Thanks!

This worked perfectly. I would advice using tab-completion to fill in those pesky file paths. And also, one needs to create /us/local before running the cp command.
