hi!

I've downloaded a stable version of mysql, but when I run "mysql_install_db" I get the following error message:

"Sorry, cannot resolve hostname ..."

It doesn't work with "--force" neither, because then there are other errors...

I searched for it here and it seems that I am not the only one with this problem...

Can you help me? :confused:

My config:
PPC G4 533
Mac OS X 10.1.2
MySQL 3.23.47

Thank you,
Walter
 
Now, I know what happened:

It seems that MacOS X 10.1.2 changed the hostname. So I simply created a new host via NetInfo, told the terminal to use it and voila! ;-)

Can you please explain how you did this with NetInfo. I'm hesitant to play around with it and am having the same problem. Thankls
 
Just use NetInfo to duplicate a machine and then enter new values (name, ip, ...)

Then open the terminal and type

"sudo hostname yournewhostname"

without the double quotes . Then restart the terminal.
Now you should see your new hostname in the command line.
