I have another problem with MySQL.

I have downloaded it and everything was good. I start Terminal and I typed the following:-

sudo mysql_secure_installation

Then:-

I put my password.

After the surprise was :-

command not found

Please help

Thank you

Well, mysql_secure_installation isn't a command, it's likely a script. Try either,

sudo ./mysql_secure_installation
or
sudo sh mysql_secure_installation

So you downloaded the DMG, extracted it, and installed from the .pkg, then the preference pane?

From Terminal, when I do,

which mysql_secure_installation

I get

/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql_secure_installation

because I have MySQL installed as part of the MAMP install. Give it a shot. If nothing is shown, then either MySQL didn't install correctly, or the path environment variable was not setup correctly. You may also want to try login out and back in to see if it makes a difference. From the video, there was 3 things to install, did all of those go off without a hitch?

I got the proper one for a PPC and installed it according to the same "tutorial", but when I get to the 'sudo mysql_secure_installation', I get the "command not found" as well, and even though it says MySql is running (according to System Preferences-->MySql), when I go to FireFox and type in 'localhost/phpmyadmin/index.php' it gives me 'ERROR-MySQL said: #2002-The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured)'

The script mysql_secure_installation might not be installed in your $PATH so you will need to either type out the whole path or cd to that directory where the script and then use the sudo ./mysql_secure_installation.

Check the path, but also check the permissions on the directory and file. It sounds to me like the script may not have the proper permissions to the files.
