Hi, could you please try and run this: # /usr/local/libexec/mysqld -u root you probably want to add an ampersand '&' at the end of the line. and let me/us know if it works. I am sure this is not the appropriate way t= o do this, but maybe it will get you started. I am also curious for the response from experienced people for the above command which i think will work. All these provided that you have the mysql server installed..
