Marc's site is back up! http://www.entropy.ch/home

Speaking of PHP not working, I found a problem in my installation. I just managed to download Marc Liyanage's PHP4.2.2 module for 10.1 (his www2 subdomain still works): http://www2.entropy.ch/download/libphp4.so.gz-10.1 Now, he notes on his instruction page (if you could ever get to it!)...

As many of you know, Marc Liyanage has made some very nice PHP modules. However, he's moved on to 10.2. If you're like me and need to run PHP under 10.1.x, he's got an old module. For the last three days, his web site has been refusing my attempts to access it. Strangely enough, his www2...

This I have done. Now, PHP, MYSQl and various libraries! Thanks, David

Whoops, I didn't destroy Pacifist. I destroyed Installer instead, but since that was not working, it was no great loss anyway. Still go the problem with my version!

slur wrote: Thanks. I think I won't. In an attempt to re-install Installer.app using Pacifist, I not only destroyed Pacifist, but also managed to write over my SystemVersion.plist, so I'm back at version 10.1. Of course, now SoftwareUpdate is telling me I need the 10.1.5 Combo Update...

I have a problem for which I would gratefully receive answers or solutions. Current system: G4/400 with 448 MB RAM 10.1.5 with Security Update from July. (Have not installed August updates yet -- more on this below.) Yesterday, I found that Installer.app is not working. When I click on...

My apologies for no replying sooner. It turns out that both nether and slur were correct. I simply ran the line sudo chown -R mysql /usr/local/mysql/* which fixed the problem. It's a bit puzzling that I did this when I installed it. (I know this for a fact; I recorded my actions in a...

Slur wrote: This sure looks like a permissions issue. Did you do this step from Marc's instructions? sudo chown -R mysql /usr/local/mysql/* Sure did. Followed his instructions to the letter on the day I installed MySQL. I was then able to use the mysql command. But the next day (in other...

Thanks to Changomarcelo for his help. So much for my MySQL startup. I have installed Marc Liyanage's 3.23.45 package and the startup item. The latter appears to be working, but I can't connect (error 61). /usr/local/mysql/data/localhost.err reveals: 020107 8:24:27...

Success at last! Thank you, Slur, Dougiamas, Dan, Iolaire, and Changomarcelo for all your help. I came across an article Do Not Reinstall After Using the Mac OS X Update 10.1.1. Well, I erased my OSX partition and started from scratch. What I noticed immediately was that there was a...

More MySQL woes: Slur wrote: I notice that you hadn't started the MySQL daemon before trying to use mysqladmin It's possible that I hadn't that time, but I had pretty much every other time and in my most recent attempt. What follows is what happened when I decided to use Marc Liyanage's...

It's most encouraging to know that pretty much all of you, including Changomarcelo (last contributor) can happily install MySQL. I'm almost prompted to try again. However, I have to say that PostgreSQL is much less trouble. I downloaded Marc Liyanage's package of that and it installed and...

Yes, they did break. MySQL, be gone from my life forever.
