Flash9000 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I have installed MySQL (5.0.27) on OSX [10.4.8]. I ran into of host of problems trying to get it to communicate with Drupal. I have likely made some installing errors. So, now that I know how to install it correctly, I would like to completly uninstall MySQl to start fresh. Can one completely uninstall MySQL? Or do I need to re-install the entire OS X operating system?Here is my latest error message"ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)" So then I try "sudo ./bin/mysqld_safe" And I get... "touch: /var/lib/mysql/dsl081-038-074.lax1.dsl.speakeasy.net.err: No such file or directory chown: /var/lib/mysql/dsl081-038-074.lax1.dsl.speakeasy.net.err: No such file or directory Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql ./bin/mysqld_safe: line 379: /var/lib/mysql/[my address].err: No such file or directory ./bin/mysqld_safe: line 1: /var/lib/mysql/[my address].err: No such file or directory STOPPING server from pid file /var/lib/mysql/[my address].pid tee: /var/lib/mysql/[my address].err: No such file or directory 070108 23:50:01 mysqld ended tee: /var/lib/mysql/[my address].net.err: No such file or directory" Is there any one out there who can understand this? :-\ Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/33666-need-help-to-uninstall-mysql-50-on-osx/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
