brew installs mysql on Mac OS

I am trying to set up MySQL on Mac OS 10.6 using Homebrew through brew install mysql 5.1.52.

All went well, and MySQL install dB was also successful.
However, when I try to connect to the server using the following methods:

/usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.1.52/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'mypass'

I get:

/usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.1.52/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' 
failed error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'

I also try mysqladmin or mysql using -u root -proot to access mysqladmin or mysql using -u root -proot,
But it can't be used with or without a password.

This is a new installation on a new computer. As far as I know, you must use the root password to access the new installation. I also tried:

/usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.1.52/bin/mysql_secure_installation

But I got it, too

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

To connect:
    mysql -uroot

To reload mysql after an upgrade:
    launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist
    launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist

Start mysql.service

. ERROR! The server quit without updating PID file (/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid).

Or mysql -u root

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)

I'm looking for a solution for a while, but I can't solve my problem. I tried several solutions on stackoverflow.com, but it didn't help.

I ran into the same problem after trying to restart mysql.

For convenience, I use the following two aliases in. profile

alias mysql-stop='launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist'
alias mysql-start='launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist' 

After stopping mysql and trying to restart, I ran into a problem you had. I investigated the launchctl load, which reported a load not found error.

After a quick search, I found this.

http://www.daveoncode.com/2013/02/01/solve-mac-osx-launchctl-nothing-found-to-load-error/

So I updated the mysql start alias as follows

alias mysql-start='launchctl load -w -F ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist'

This solves my problem and may be useful to you.

This is a detailed description, which combines the method of removing all MySQL from Mac, and then installing The Brew Way as described above by Sedorner:

According to the technical laboratory Delete MySQL completely

  • ps -ax | grep mysql
  • Stop and kill any MySQL process
  • sudo rm /usr/local/mysql
  • sudo rm -rf /usr/local/var/mysql
  • sudo rm -rf /usr/local/mysql*
  • sudo rm ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist
  • sudo rm -rf /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM
  • sudo rm -rf /Library/PreferencePanes/My*
  • launchctl unload -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist
  • Edit / etc/hostconfig and delete the line MYSQLCOM=-YES-
  • rm -rf ~/Library/PreferencePanes/My*
  • sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/mysql*
  • sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/MySQL*
  • sudo rm -rf /private/var/db/receipts/*mysql*
  • sudo rm -rf /tmp/mysql*
  • Try to run mysql, it doesn't work

from then on StackOverflow In the reply, Brew MySQL is installed by user Sedorner

  • brew doctor and correct any errors
  • brew remove mysql
  • brew cleanup
  • brew update
  • brew install mysql
  • unset TMPDIR
  • mysql_install_db --verbose --user= whoami --basedir="$(brew --prefix mysql)" --datadir=/usr/local/var/mysql --tmpdir=/tmp
  • mysql.server start
  • Run Brew's recommended command to add MySQL to launchctl so that it starts automatically at startup

mysql should now work and be running all the time

God's speed.

The "basic path" of Mysql is stored in / etc/my.cnf and will not be updated when you upgrade brew. Just open it and change the basedir value

For example, change this:

[mysqld]
basedir=/Users/3st/homebrew/Cellar/mysql/5.6.13

Point to new version:

[mysqld]
basedir=/Users/3st/homebrew/Cellar/mysql/5.6.19

Restart mysql with the following command:

mysql.server start

When using brew with the latest versions of mysql and yosemite, none of the above answers (or any of the dozens I've seen elsewhere) worked for me. I finally installed a different version of mysql through brew.

Specify the old version by saying (for example)

brew install mysql56

Work for me. I hope it helps someone. It's a frustrating problem, and I feel like I'll never stop.
