can't find /etc/hostconfig file on OS X 10.10.3 - mysql

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.

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*

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
