having trouble getting MySql for Mac

[rooster676]

Hi all-I am trying to download MySql for my Mac Book Pro, running os 10.5-

Has this happened to any of you? I go to the MySql.com website, to the downloads page etc. I find the version I need, pick the mirror and then, they say that they need more info from me. I signed up, filled out all of their forms,
got the email with my user name and password. I went back, signed in and still, everytime I try to download I get a screen telling me that they need more information, and I am presented with the same form that I have filled out before-and, I am totally logged in!

Help-are there any other places where I can download MySql 5 for os 10.5?
thnx!

If its for developing websites try MAMP it provides a SQL server, Apache server and PHP server in one package.

ok, first i second MAMP, it makes it SO much easier to set up.

but to answer your question, on this page:

http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-5.1/mysql-5.1.34-osx10.5-x86.dmg/from/pick

which is the 'sign up!' page, at the very bottom it says:

» No thanks, just take me to the downloads!

click that link and you are gold.

Wow, a dmg file... I've seen others try to install patched Linux binaries. This is 100% awesome!!!!! Must be the 5.1.34 Community version for those following. I need to add this immediately to my sticky topic of links here on the forum.

You can get a 64 bit version from there as well.

indeed, sometimes there is more skill in finding download links than actually using the product you want... ;-)
