I'm trying to uninstall MySQL on OS X 10.10.3 and I found these commands to follow:
sudo rm /usr/local/mysql
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/mysql*
sudo rm -rf /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM
sudo rm -rf /Library/PreferencePanes/My*
edit /etc/hostconfig and remove the line MYSQLCOM=-YES-
rm -rf ~/Library/PreferencePanes/My*
sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/mysql*
sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/MySQL*
sudo rm -rf /private/var/db/receipts/*mysql*
It seems that /etc/hostconfig file doesn't exist.
Did I miss anything? What does this file do and what should I do to ensure MySQL is completely removed?
As of OS X Yosemite, /etc/hostconfig is no longer installed as part of the OS.

I am trying to do a fresh install of Mac OSX LAMP and running the command

I have inputting the root password and I have to now input a new password when I'm hit with this error, has anyone got any experience with this?
Re-enter new password:
... Failed! Error: File './mysql/user.MYD' not found (Errcode: 13 - Permission denied)
Please retry to completely remove mysql by executing:
brew remove mysql
brew cleanup
sudo rm /usr/local/mysql
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/var/mysql
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/mysql*
sudo rm ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist
sudo rm -rf /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM
sudo rm -rf /Library/PreferencePanes/My*
launchctl unload -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist
edit /etc/hostconfig and remove the line MYSQLCOM=-YES-
rm -rf ~/Library/PreferencePanes/My*
sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/mysql*
sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/MySQL*
sudo rm -rf /private/var/db/receipts/*mysql*
And then restart your computer to make sure that all the processes have been killed.
Then execute these commands to install MySQL:
brew update
brew install mysql
unset TMPDIR
mysql_install_db --verbose --user='<your-username>' --basedir="$(brew --prefix mysql)" --datadir=/usr/local/var/mysql --tmpdir=/tmp
mysql.server start
This should do the trick.
I think there was a corruption within the install and decided to delete and use brew to install and all is now well! Follow these steps
Open a terminal window
Use mysqldump to backup your databases to text files!
Stop the database server
sudo rm /usr/local/mysql
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/mysql*
sudo rm -rf /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM
sudo rm -rf /Library/PreferencePanes/My*
edit /etc/hostconfig and remove the line MYSQLCOM=-YES-
rm -rf ~/Library/PreferencePanes/My*
sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/mysql*
sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/MySQL*
sudo rm -rf /private/var/db/receipts/*mysql*
Then installed via Brew
brew install mysql
I just wanna confirm wheather MySql is intalled in my mac machine or not. Actually, during its installation process I just messed up with the password configuration and after that I tried to reset its password but all to vain and I finally decided to uninstall it and do the installtion again from start. But before installing it again I just wanna confirm wheather the previous installation got cleared properlly or not. For unintalling mysql I have used following commands
sudo rm /usr/local/mysql
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/mysql*
sudo rm -rf /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM
sudo rm -rf /Library/PreferencePanes/My*
edit /etc/hostconfig and remove the line MYSQLCOM=-YES-
rm -rf ~/Library/PreferencePanes/My*
sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/mysql*
sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/MySQL*
sudo rm -rf /private/var/db/receipts/*mysql*
Execute the following command. If it says "command not found" it's not installed.
mysql -v
