Basically I just need mysql for the blogging software (wordpress). But it’s also a good reference to compare with Postgres used by Alashan. Therefore I just installed the software with basic configuration.

  1. Download prebuild binary distribution for MacOS.
    The current download package I installed was mysql-5.1.41-osx10.5-x86.
  2. Install the prebuild package
    Installation directory is /usr/local
    the mysql user account is preinstalled on leopard
  3. Configure mysql basic settings
    $ mysqladmin -u root -password password # root/pasword
  4. System Startup Integration with launchd
    put the file com.mysql.mysqld.plist into /Library/LauchDaemons
    $ sudo chmod root.wheel /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.mysql.mysqld.plist
    $ sudo chmod 744 /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.mysql.mysqld.plist
    sudo launchctl [load|unload|list] /Library/LaunchDaemons
    sudo launchctl [start|stop] org.mysql.mysqld
