Bring me Tiger!
Hi!,

I have just installed PHP and i want to install MySQL because a lot thing requires that language. I can install it?! It says unknown command when i am trying the "cd" command. Just as Yoshi typed in the How-To forum.

Whats wrong? . Any help would be nice

Are u trying to:

cd /usr/local/mysql

... by any chance?

If so, then do the following:

cd /usr/local
sudo mkdir mysql

Basically, the same thing happened to me when I first tried to install MySQL. The mysql directory didn't exist, so I made it with mkdir.

If this isn't your problem then you've just wasted 1 minute reading this.;) :D
 
First of all, did you install the MySQL download package (.pkg) file (probably landed on your desktop)?

If so, then did you actually try the command: sudo ./scripts/mysql_install_db

If not, then do so, because it isn't actually expecting to install anything from the mysql directory (but to it).

Let me know.
 
Download this file: ftp://www.macosguru.de/eSuite4XMySQL.dmg.zip

This is a OS X installer package tha will automatically install mysql for you along with a shareware managment interface. The installer asks a few questions and requires that you make an admin user called mysql but that is as tough as it gets. The managment interface works for 30 days then requires a serial # for continued use, but MySQL continues to function quite fine.

I also recommend Webmin for managing your webserver. It will manage MySQL, PHP, Apache, and many more modules.

If you have any questions regarding this software I will gladly answer them.
 
The files came up on the desktoop if you guys want to know,
I´ll try all this when i get home (probaly on saturday or sunday)
