So you can see why I say there is a permissions issue. Please check all of the above before submitting a bug report The latest information about mysql_install_db is available at general-log gives you a log in /opt/local/var/db/mariadb-10.6 that may be helpful. Try 'mysqld -help' if you have problems with paths. Shell> /opt/local/lib/mariadb-10.6/bin/mysql -u root mysql

To connect to the mysql database and look at the grant tables: Shell> /opt/local/lib/mariadb-10.6/bin/mariadbd -skip-grant-tables -general-log &Īnd use the command line tool /opt/local/lib/mariadb-10.6/bin/mariadb You can also try to start the mysqld daemon with: Shell> /opt/local/lib/mariadb-10.6/bin/mysql_install_db -defaults-file=~/.my.cnf The problem could be conflicting information in an external opt/local/var/db/mariadb-10.6 for more information. Installation of system tables failed!

Job-working-directory: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Permission denied Shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Permission denied Here is what I get: ~ % sudo -u _mysql /opt/local/lib/mariadb-10.6/bin/mysql_install_db So I uninstalled all the databases and started over so I could capture the error messages. But there are error messages that should be helpful. I was under the impression that the Macports installs should 'just work'. They all give different errors, which might be related to permissions. I have tried mariadb-10.6, mariadb-10.5 (just to see if that would work), and even mysql8. So I am wondering if it could be a Monterey problem or an Apple Silicon problem.

Setting up apache and php have mostly just worked, with only a minimal amount of tweaks.īut setting up the database gives lots of different kinds of errors. I am using MacPorts because that is what I have used for many years. I am trying to set up a development environment on my new MacBookPro 14 inch M1 Pro.
