ctlscript.sh and mysql problems in Terminal

Hi

Bit of a newbie…

I’ve run the ctlscript.sh in my terminal window and I get this result:

Starting mysqld.bin daemon with databases from /Applications/joomla-1.0.15-3/mysql/data
/Applications/joomla-1.0.15-3/mysql/scripts/ctl.sh : mysql could not be started
Syntax OK

It seems the script is not able to start the mysql on my system why is this?

Hi Pablo,

Probably there are another mysql running at the same port or it is a permissions issue. Have you installed the stack with “sudo”? Have you tried to start the “ctlscript.sh” as a root with “sudo”? Can you access to the application after running the ctlscript.sh? What is the result of this command after run the ctlscript.sh:

ps aux | grep mysql

Could you post the /Applications/joomla-1.0.15-3/mysql/data/mysqld.log to try to find the exact error?

Cheers.
