Something changed when updating various mysql-related ports recently: I can no
longer start mysqld. Error is:
ERROR! The server quit without updating PID file
(/Users/me/Databases/mysql/data/Blackstone.local.pid).
Below is my /opt/local/etc/mysql57/my.cnf file. It includes the
macports-default.cnf file, whose only non-commented lines are:
[mysqld]
skip-networking
What could be wrong?
I’ve searched on-line, and nothing I’ve found so far seems to be relevant (most
referring to installations directly from mysql download into /usr/local or else
to installations using homebrew.
To the best of my knowledge, I have not intervened to change any permissions on
the data files,
which are in /Users/me/Databases/mysql/data
# my.cnf
#
# Use default MacPorts settings
!include /opt/local/etc/mysql57/macports-default.cnf
# For advice on how to change settings please see
