installing MYSQL on Mac OS X v10.6.8

midlouth

Hi

I am trying to install MYSQL onto my MAC OS X v10.6.8 machine but I have getting the below error, also when I go to system preferences it says that "The MySQL Server instance is stopped", when I click on "Start MySQL Server" and put my password in when prompted nothing happens.

Midlouths-MacBook-Air:~ ML$ cd /usr/local/mysql
Midlouths-MacBook-Air:mysql ML$ sudo ./bin/mysqld_safe

I am relatively new and inexperienced in using a MAC and MYSQL so please go easy on me, the joys of being back in college

A quick google suggests it might be this issue which relates to the version of MySQL being too new for the version of OS X. On the ticket in question, the reporter is using 10.7, and MySQL 5.6.7, so if they have a compatibilty there, it's highly likely that you have similar using MySQL 5.6.10 on OSX 10.6.8.

That was pretty much it, crazy to think that there isn't a compatibility check on installation!

Thanks for that!
