Hi

I recently installed mysql on 10.5. I didn't build from the source, I used the 10.5 package from mysql.com/downloads

I installed everything (package, startup item, and preference pane), but it won't start up from the preference pane. When i click on "start mysql server", nothing happens.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Do this: If you have installed the Startup Item, use this command:

shell> sudo /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM/MySQLCOM start
(Enter your password, if necessary)
(Press Control-D or enter "exit" to exit the shell)

If you don't use the Startup Item, enter the following command sequence:

shell> cd /usr/local/mysql
shell> sudo ./bin/mysqld_safe
(Enter your password, if necessary)
(Press Control-Z)
shell> bg
(Press Control-D or enter "exit" to exit the shell)

The MySQL package has known bugs in 10.5. You're better off using MAMP.
