Hi! I had the same “ERROR! Manager of pid-file quit without updating file.” problem.

I had installed mysql using MacPorts and it turned out mysqld.sock defaulted to be in ‘/opt/local/var/run/mysql5′ – a directory that didn’t exist! So after creating ‘run’ and ‘mysql5′ and setting owner and group to ‘_mysql’ followed by fixing up php.ini to point at mysqld.sock (and restarting Apache) everything works!

This is on an old PPC Mini with OSX 10.5.8.

Ok. I fixed the problem with sudo. It was permission problem.

But the problem of not finding sql.sock is still with me.

@Khalid: I have not gotten around to trying out SQLyog yet. I mainly use Navicat these days for all MySQL administration needs.

Hi Steve,

Did you try SQLyog?

How do you install it on Mac? If you don’t mind me asking?

This is an excellent tutorial on how to setup PHP, MYSQL, and APACHE on a Mac. Thank you so much for this!!.I just hope this discussion is still open.

I faced one problem with my sql. When I looked at /etc I could not find sql.sock that is where I got stuck. Also, when I tried to start mysql via terminal I get the following:
Oryx:~ kskhater$ sudo /usr/local/mysql-5.5.2-m2-osx10.6-x86/support-files/mysql.server start
sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0644, should be 0440
Segmentation fault

Hey Jim,

I have exactly the same issue as you. I had installed MySQL and had is running fine yesterday. Since then I have restarted my macbook and now can’t get the server to start.

So, some progress.

I completely unistalled mysql by following this http://akrabat.com/computing/uninstalling-mysql-on-mac-os-x-leopard/

I then reinstalled mysql-5.1.44-osx10.5-x86.dmg and installed the startup items and the pref pane.

I could then start/stop mysql either through the pref pane or using the Terminal commands:
sudo /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM/MySQLCOM start
sudo /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM/MySQLCOM stop

Green “running” in the MySQL Pref Pane. Cool!

From this point I continued on with your tutorial”Getting MySQL and PHP to communicate” and create the my.cnf. Just as soon as I create it, the MySQL server stopped and cannot be started unless I remove the my.cnf file.

So, this is where I am now stuck. Ideas?
