Os X Mysql Problem

Nov 20 2008, 10:54 PM

As far as I can remember OS X comes with apache but does not come with MySql so I had to download and install MySql from their website (dmg file). This worked fine but as I also installed xampp later which comes with MySQL as well I think it conflicts with the original one installed. Some symptoms of this are:

1. when I start xampp it starts the original mysql install instead of its own.
2. I cannot determine where should I go to configure the xampp mysql users + passwords
3. scripts wont work because i cannot connect to socket or either passwords are wrong or unset.

I cant determine what one is being run atm when I start xampp. when I go to the phpMyAdmin it says:

CODE

phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in your configuration and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server.

I would like to remove the original mysql install and go with the xampp version. So far I have not found a method that works does anyone have any ideas?

The Only Reason I Choose Ms Sql Server Rather Than Mysql - (2)
The only reason i choose ms sql server rather than mysql is, MS SQL has more security features!!
MySQL is lacking a lot in my opinions - Lack in wide char, like nvarchar, I developed some
application to support chinese letter, and dont know how to build one in mysql - Lack in t-sql
syntax, like query in query is not fully supported - Does not have today SQL features like BI
support (today really required) And compare MS SQL to MySQL, the only reason why mysql is
favourable is - it is free! Dont u guys agree?...

Php Myadmin - can't access mysql database (8)

I have installed XAMPP on my computer. Everything works fine, but when I enter PHPMyAdmin I get this
warning: "Your configuration file contains settings (root with no password) that correspond to the

intrusion, and you really should fix this security hole." So I've changed the password to the
root account, but then I couldn't access the mysql databases anymore with PHPMyAdmin (I received
an error that the access was denied). I could change the structures only in php with ...

Database With Mysql++ - getting mySQL++ to work with trap17 (7)

Hi, I'm trying to build an online game and figured the easiest way to do the server list would

Mysql Datatype Int() Question - Not sure what value to use inside int() (1)
