  <p>I have tried changing the port from <code>3306</code> to <code>3307</code> in the <code>my.cnf</code> file.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Question</strong></p>
  
  <p>I would appreciate any help on how to start the MySQL Server, and also have it so it starts automatically on MacOS Boot up.</p>
  
  <p>(I am new to Mac, so apologies if this is a basic question).</p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE</strong></p>
  
  <p>Looking for error logs, I can't find anything with todays (2/2/2017) timestamp.</p>

  <p>No files with "mysql" have been modified since I've tried to start the MySQL Server (2/2/2017 after 09:00).</p>
