MySQL does not start on startup In the System Preferences panel, I have the MySQL there.





I chose it to start up every time my Mac starts up, however this doesn't work, I have restarted MySQL many times, but it will not start up at all - which I require to start up manually.

How can I fix this?
There should also be logs in /usr/local/mysql/data. You'll have to "sudo su" from a Terminal session in order to see that directory. Check for any errors being reported in a filed named like this: "Your-computer-name.local.err"

Report back whatever you see that doesn't make sense.

You can also check out the startup script to make sure there are no errors. Find that here: /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM/MYSQLCOM
