For Snow Leopard users you need to use the “new” password format else you will get the "error establishing a database connection" and if you use echo(mysql_error()); before the html error output in wp-includes/wp-db.php (line 343 in version 2.8.4) it will say "mysqlnd cannot connect to MySQL 4.1+ using old authentication".

So instead of using:

set password for wpuser@localhost = old_password('wppass');

Use:

set password for wpuser@localhost = password('wppass');

Hi, noob here. I startted to follow your tut and didnt get far. I had to create a .profile because there wasn't one already. So I did "nano .profile" to create it. Then I added the export path. After leaving the .profile file, I cant find a way to get back in. but also not sure how to change from local host in the terimal to run commands for the next mysql step.

many thanks.

Thanks for this excellent instructions. I have now WP 2.8 running smoothly on my Mac Mini.

When I downloaded the mysql-5.1.35-osx10.5-x86.dmg I noticed that it included a Startup app. Once installed, this app starts up automatic the MySQL server after a reboot and no manual action is needed anymore.

Hello,

I got through the installation with no problem, but it won't let me login to wordpress. When I look at the table in mysql, there is only one user 'admin'. I can't login as my own user and I can't login as admin. Am I missing something? I used all the username and password settings exactly as in this tutorial. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

BD

Thanks for the recipe - I plan to do this over the weekend in order to migrate my blog from WP hosted to self hosted :-)

Entering "set password for 'root'@'macmini.local' = password('password');" in the third "set password" instructions produces the following error:

ERROR 1133 (42000): Can't find any matching row in the user table

I have tried some variations of the set password line, but no luck. Should I stop and then start Mysql, or is setting a password for this user necessary?

Thank you for this very helpful tutorial.

So far this site has been great but I am fairly new to mysql and DB's in general. When I got to the part where you have to complete the configuration from terminal I get command not found when I type in mysql -u root. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong or what I need to do to get this to work.

Thanks

well, i guess there's more than one way to skin that cat. I went to:
/etc/profile and checked the username as such,

if [[ $USER = "test" ]]
then
export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin"
fi

Got stuck on "Add this line to your profile:" 'cause I can't find .profile
Get message from Terminal: The file /Users/xxx/.profile does not exist.

Any help?

ops, the third line is:

cd /etc/

Hello ! Nice tutorial !!

Instead of create a folder on /var/mysql you can:

cp /etc
sudo cp php.ini.default php.ini

Then, edit the line that starts with mysql.default_socket to look like this

mysql.default_socket = /tmp/mysql.sock

Absolutely fantastic tutorial. One change though. In the newer version of WP,
/usr/local/mysql/bin/safe_mysqld

is now

/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe

Really clear and very helpful, thanks.

Just one comment - when editing wp-config.php I found that setting DB_HOST to "localhost:/tmp/mysql.sock" didn't work, I had to just use "localhost".

Oh my gosh... you have no idea how grateful I am right now, I've been working on this for several days now being a total unix noob and this just helped me to get it working. Thanks so much. 1% was all I needed.
