Fix MySQL Database After Upgrading to Mac OS X 10.2
Many users who have installed servers preconfigured GoLive and MySQL on Mac OS X 10.1.x found that MySQL was broken after you upgrade to Mac OS X 10.2. If you run the script early MySql and an error message below as seen in Figure 5.1, you must fix your installation of MySQL on Mac OS X 10.2. The good news is that it is very easy and this step-by-step tutorial will guide you through the process.
When you installed MySQL on Mac OS X 10.1.x you had to create a user account called mysql MySQL to work very well. Now with Mac OS X 10.2, Apple conveniently includes a default MySQL user in the system so that you no longer need to create this user account yourself. The problem addressed in this tutorial arises only when you install MySQL on Mac OS X 10.1.x and then upgrade to Mac OS X 10.2 because the standard user account created on the computer for MySQL is diverted or crushed by a single user Netinfo account of the same name. Bascially, we simply remove the Netinfo user in NetInfo Manager and recreate the standard user account.
