MySQL

1 brew install mysql # Follow instructions

Set up databases with:

    mysql_install_db

If this is your first install, automatically load on login with:

    cp /usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.1.49/com.mysql.mysqld.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents

    launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.mysql.mysqld.plist

If this is an upgrade and you already have the com.mysql.mysqld.plist loaded:

    launchctl unload -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.mysql.mysqld.plist

    cp /usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.1.49/com.mysql.mysqld.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents

    launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.mysql.mysqld.plist

Note on upgrading:

    We overwrite any existing com.mysql.mysqld.plist in ~/Library/LaunchAgents

    if we are upgrading because previous versions of this brew created the

    plist with a version specific program argument.

To start: launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.mysql.mysqld.plist

To stop: launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.mysql.mysqld.plist

Or start manually with:

    mysql.server start

Installing MySQL system tables...

OK

Filling help tables...

OK

To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy

support-files/mysql.server to the right place for your system

PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !

To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands:

/usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.1.49/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'

/usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.1.49/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h jm-macbook.local password 'new-password'

Alternatively you can run:

/usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.1.49/bin/mysql_secure_installation

which will also give you the option of removing the test

databases and anonymous user created by default.  This is

strongly recommended for production servers.

See the manual for more instructions.

You can start the MySQL daemon with:

cd /usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.1.49 ; /usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.1.49/bin/mysqld_safe &

You can test the MySQL daemon with mysql-test-run.pl

cd /usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.1.49/mysql-test ; perl mysql-test-run.pl

Please report any problems with the /usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.1.49/bin/mysqlbug script!

Postgresql

1 brew install postgresql # Follow instructions

If you get the following error:

FATAL: could not create shared memory segment: Cannot allocate memory
