Installing MySQL on MAC OS X - MySQL

[SpreadTooThin]

I just installed MySQL on my MAC.
I tried to run mysql but it seems that the installation packages did
nothing to add it to my path...
So what environment variables should I set to have mysql installed
properly?

computer:~ user$ sudo find / -name mysql -print
Password:
/usr/local/mysql
/usr/local/mysql-standard-5.0.27-osx10.4-powerpc/bin/mysql
/usr/local/mysql-standard-5.0.27-osx10.4-powerpc/data/mysql
/usr/local/mysql-standard-5.0.27-osx10.4-powerpc/share/mysql


my shell is bash.....

PMJI here.

Not at all SPAM. A simple way to install Apache, PhP and MySQL on a Mac.

There are similar packages for Windows (WAMP) and Linux (LAMP).
Basically, it has pretty much everything you need and is preconfigured
to install with as little work as possible.

A great way for a beginner to get started.

Only if you use it on a server never intended for public consumption,
never intended to hold "real" data and only intended as a test box
until you can do it right.

Horse hockey. It works fine. There is no difference in downloading the
package vs. the individual products except that you have a default
configuration which will get you started.

Sure, you'll want to change the configuration to suit your particular
purposes. But it saves a lot of work and time and gets you started
quite quickly and easily.

Also, it's a lot better than beating your head against the wall trying
to get all of them installed and talking - like I had to several years ago.

Now I find them all easy to install and configure because I've done it
so many times. But I often still start with LAMP/WAMP because it's a
single download/install. Then reconfigure as necessary. And every one
of my installations is as secure as any other site running the three -
and more secure than a lot.
