Hi
Virgin install MySQL 558 64bit on Mac OS X Leopard 10.6.6 client, MySQL Workbench 5231. No scripting and just using Workbench to acess the db locally.
Workbench can't start a server instance and I'd like to use the button in Startup tab to avoid command line interaction.
I only want the MySQL service if I'm inside Workbench. I can start/stop the db from Terminal and use Workbench fine after a Terminal MySQL launch; been mucking with beginner SQL tutorials fine. I can stop the server from Workbench Startup tab ok. Tried a Dashboard widget and the System Preference install but they both seemed to be puppets of the same issue, so I got rid of them to limit the issue to Workbench with its message log. The feedback seems to boil down to an error message that I can replicate in both Workbench and Terminal (if I sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server start):
Starting MySQL
ERROR! Couldn't find MySQL server (./bin/mysqld_safe)
Other details:
- Installs were clean and uneventful.
- Terminal starts require sudo.
- added /usr/local/mysql-5.5.8-osx10.6-x86_64/bin to my path but it only made my terminal launch easier without affecting Workbench (should I use the mysql link instead for professionalism?)
- mysql account seems to be there and hidden (is that what the underscore does?)
- I did find a bug report with potential, talking about adding a checkbox to Workbench that adds root power to admin because a script default was the opposite, but after searching I have no idea where that interface is.
So, if I can launch (./bin/mysqld_safe) fine, why can't Workbench?
