Starting on PHP/MySQL Development and as the title states, downloaded MySQL 8.0.15 DMG. Installed. However, when I attempt to run the terminal command:
"sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server.start"
I get:
"Starting MysQl .......... "
which finally ends in:
ERROR! The server quit without updating PID file (/usr/local/mysql/data/Macbook.hsd.comcast.net.pid)
So far I have tried:
Tried to remove the "Macbook.hsd.comcast.net.pid" file located in the data directory but all i keep getting a "No Such file or directory"
To look for default "my.cnf" file to mod or to add the default values, HOWEVER I read that: "By default the OS X installation does not use a my.cnf, and My SQL just uses the default values. To set up your own my.cnf, you could just create a file straight in /etc.
An "auto.cnf" exists in the data folder, i'm not sure if MySQL uses that or would respect a "my.cnf" created in the /usr/local/sql/data/ folder.
I'm not sure of the proper location to create a "my.cnf" (see, all I want to do is set the proper value for the "pid-file" such as pid-file = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid and then create the directory and give it the proper permissions. SEE UPDATE AT BOTTOM:
I'm cannot access the "data" folder in MySQL folder (which is alias of): "/usr/local/mysql-8.0.15-macos10.14-x86_64/". It keeps telling me I don't have permission. There is a little red dot
I have set checked the permissions in "/user/local/mysql/" and did a
"sudo chown -RL root:mysql /user/local/mysql"
"sudo chown -RL _mysql:mysql /usr/local/mysql/data"
In the /mysql/ directory now everything reads:
Stumped and not sure where to move on from here.
Is the fact that I can't access the data folder a result because I haven't made one/specified one? Can't seem to find an answer for getting MySQL working with HighSierra/Mojave. I can't believe that it's just dead.
I would appreciate any/all help.
UPDATE/EDIT:
Was able to add my user permissions to the "/user/local/mysql/data" folder and was finally able to access the error file ("Macbook.hsd.comcast.net.err") and a "auto.cnf".
The "auto.cnf" file is empty besides a single line: [auto] server-uuid=e7986494-331d-11e9-9691-bec9b3249da6 (not sure if I need to modify the auto.cnf and add PID entries). See error BELOW which seems to indicate otherwise.
The Error file had repeated Errors (occurred several Times):
i am new to laravel i just figured out how to install composer laravel etc etc on my local machine MAMP on windows , Now i am confuse with the command on terminal which is
C:\project>mysql -uroot -proot
'mysql' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
How can i fix this ?
setting Environment will solve the issue
Go to Control Panel -> System -> Advanced
Click - Environment Variables
Go to- System Variables find PATH and click on it.
add the path to your mysql\bin folder to the end paths. (ex: E:\xampp\mysql\bin) and add ; end of the line
Close all the command prompts you opens.
Re open and try it.
Setting the PATH to point to the MYSQL bin folder is normally the first thought, but I find that dangerous as things get left lying around when you change software.
I normally create a little batch file in the projects folder or in a folder that it already on your PATH, like this
mysqlpath.cmd
echo off
PATH=C:\mamp\path\to\the\mysql\bin;%PATH%
mysql -v
The mysql -v will output the mysql version number but it is a handy way of knowing that the correct folder has been added to the PATH. This adds the folder to the PATH but only for the life of the command window.
Then just run this from any command window when you want to use MYSQL from the command line
> phppath
You may also like to create one for PHP as well
phppath.cmd
echo off
PATH=C:\mamp\path\to\the\php\;%PATH%
php -v
Location of MySQL configuration file (ie: my.cnf) not specified
How can I fixed this thing?
I been trying to reinstall mysqlserver 5.5 / 5.7 and workbench countless of time. But I still not able to fix this issue.
I solved this problem. Step one: click here
Step two: and then click here to choose your path
Step three: my path is C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\my.ini
If you already know where your configuration file is located, but just don't know how to specify it in mySQLWorkbench, you can skip steps 1-3 and just follow step 4 in these instructions.
Step 1: Make sure which mysql is running (just in case you have multiple installations on your system) and how:
$ ps aux | grep mysql
may result in something like:
_mysql 120 0,0 3,4 5122736 565108 ?? Ss Fr01pm 61:05.93 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --user=_mysql --basedir=/usr/local/mysql --datadir=/usr/local/mysql/data --plugin-dir=/usr/local/mysql/lib/plugin --log-error=/usr/local/mysql/data/mysqld.local.err --pid-file=/usr/local/mysql/data/mysqld.local.pid
If, in this output, you see that mysqld has been started with the --defaults-file option, that option specifies the configuration file used by msql. If so, you have found the configuration file and can skip to step 4.
If not, check if this returns the same binary location as above command:
$ which mysqld
If not, then make sure you use the full path for mysqld from the first output in the following step.
Step 2: Ask mySQL which configuration files it is using:
$ mysqld --verbose --help | grep -A 1 "Default options"
should output something like:
Default options are read from the following files in the given order:
/etc/my.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf /usr/local/mysql/etc/my.cnf ~/.my.cnf
Step 3: Check the given locations in that order. The first finding should be your mySQL configuration file.
Step 4: In mySQLWorkbench go to Database > Manage Connections, then select the connection, select tab System Profile, and enter the path and file name in Configuration File.
This should be it.
And if still nothing happens, you may have used the installer Package. If you have, then you must select the Installation Type from the drop-down to reflect that before you locate the configuration file.
Here's a screenshot that follows from the above screenshots
Also, there may not be a config file and you can create one here, then get out of the Options File, go back in and you will see all the options.
I changed my setting from Custom to MacOSx (MySQL Package) under: Database → Manage Connections → MySQL Connections → Select DB Connection → System Profile → Installation Type → (default setting) MySQL Package.
Change from custom to default setting:
Reconnect by testing connection:
For maria-db users
back up the original /etc/mysql/my.cnf
copy and rename /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf to /etc/mysql/my.cnf.
This would fix the problem.
Remember to revert changes after finish.
For those with Mac OS Catalina:
I did not have a my.cnf file. I went to /usr/local/mysql/
and created a directory named etc, which I did not have either.
Then, inside that directory, I created the file (my.cnf).
This is the link that helped me How to fix --secure-file-priv option error
for mysql 5.7 users and MAMP: just create /etc/my.cnf
macOS 13 and MySQL 8 current:
Open MySQL Workbench on your Mac. Connect into your localhost instance of MySQL.
Click the little wrench icon next to INSTANCE on the left pane above Startup / Shutdown.
Select macOS as System Type, macOS as Installation Type, and the rest will default into place. Copy the location it gives you for the my.cnf file.
Click Close
Now click Options File on the left. It will notice that you don't have a file and will show you default values.
Click the Apply... in the bottom right corner.
It will then ask you for a password of your current logged in user of your Mac to create and save the my.cnf file.
Now in the Finder use the keyboard combo of Command-Shift-G and copy in your location we copied early (i.e. /etc/my.cnf)
I am trying to reset my MySQL root password following the official reference here.
In step #2, I have to do the following
Locate the .pid file that contains the server's process ID. The exact
location and name of this file depend on your distribution, host name,
and configuration. Common locations are /var/lib/mysql/,
/var/run/mysqld/, and /usr/local/mysql/data/. Generally, the file name
has an extension of .pid and begins with either mysqld or your
system's host name.
So I go to /var/lib/ and find the mysql folder. I double-clicked it, I got the following pop-up window:
The folder contents could not be displayed.
You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "mysql".
I am pretty sure that I am indeed the system admin. Why is it like so and how to fix it?
Start with working with the terminal/console as a root user.
Not a system expert - but it should get you somewhere:
Get into the ubuntu terminal/console
switch to the root user (sudo bash)
Then follow this one :

When I tried to source for a particular .sql file, namely 'metropolises.sql' that I created and saved previously from a database, the following error is displayed:
Failed to open file 'metropolises.sql', error: 2
Any idea what went wrong?
Assuming you mean that you are trying to use the source command in order to execute SQL statements from a text file, the error number given appears to be passed through from the POSIX layer.
Therefore, using this resource, we can deduce that the error value of 2 means "no such file or directory".
In short, you got the path wrong.
Try providing an absolute path, as it's not clear what the current working directory will be in the context of your MySQL server. You may be assuming that it's the working directory of your shell, but it's not obvious that we should expect this to be true.
Just use the absolute path of the file and then, instead of using backslashes, use forward slashes.
Example:
with backslashes : source C:\folder1\metropolises.sql
with forward slashes : source C:/folder1/metropolises.sql
IF YOU ARE USING MYSQL INSIDE DOCKER
Note that if you are running MySQL inside docker then you must first copy the dump into your MySQL docker environment. To do that follow the steps below
First, check and copy the container ID for your MySQL docker by:
sudo docker ps
Copy the SQL dump file into your container using:
sudo docker cp /path/to/sql/file.sql MysqlDockerID:/
This will copy the dump file into the docker root folder if you want to copy the file inside any other directory/path inside docker replace the '/' after 'MysqlDockerID:' with the path you want appropriate one.
Now to interact with MySQL inside a running container run the following command:
sudo docker exec -it MysqlDockerID bin/bash
Now connect to the MySQL using the terminal by:
mysql -u yourUserName -p
This will now ask you for the password. Enter the correct password to proceed.
List the databases available by:
show Databases;
This will list out the available databases
Assuming your database name where you want to import dump to is 'MyDatabase'. Switch to that using:
use MyDatabase
Now you can import the file by typing:
source file.sql
Remember the above command works if you have copied your file into your root folder (using step 2). If you have copied it to any other path make sure you use that same path instead
Related issue I had getting error 2 running source command: filename must not be in quotes even if it contains spaces in name or path to file.
It's probably the file path to your file. If you don't know the exact location of the file you want to use, try to find your file in Finder, then drag the file into Terminal window
mysql> SOURCE dragfilePathHere
I first reach to the file
c:\windows>cd c:\akura\Db Scripts
c:\akura\Db Scripts>mysql -u root -p root
mysql>\. EXECUTER_NEW_USER.sql
here EXECUTER_NEW_USER.sql my file name
I've had the same error on Windows.
I solved it with (after on cmd: mysql -u root):
mysql> SOURCE C:/users/xxx/xxxx/metropolises.sql;
Be sure you type the right file path
On my windows 8.1, and mysql 5.7.9 MySQL Community Server (GPL),
I had to remove the ; after the file path.
This failed: source E:/jokoni/db/Banking/createTables.sql;
This Worked: source E:/jokoni/db/Banking/createTables.sql
(without termination, and forward slashes instead of windows' backslashes in path)
If you are using vagrant ensure that the file is on the server and then use the path to the file. e.g if the file is stored in the public folder you will have
sql> source /var/www/public/xxx.sql
Where xxx is the name of the file
I got this error in mysql command line using this query:
source `db.sql`;
I changed the above to the following to make it work:
source db.sql;
On my Mac, this is the only solution worked for me.

1 - Download the .sql file and remember it's location.
2 - Open your mysql from command prompt or terminal.
3 - Create a database with the same name as that of the database present in the .sql file (create database your_database_name)
4 - Now exit out from the mysql command line client
5 - Now try and execute this command =>
mysql -u your_username -p your_database_name < your_sql_file_with_complete_location
example - mysql -u root -p trial < /home/abc/Desktop/trial.sql
here my .sql file is named trial and is present in the desktop, the database is also name trial
6 - You should now have your sql file imported to the corresponding mysql database.
I was having this issue and it turns out if you are using wamp server to run mysql, you have to use the file path within the wamp64 folder. So when the absolute path is: C:/wamp64/www/foldername/filename.sql
The path you have to use is:
www/foldername/filename.sql
May be the file name or path you are used may be incorrect
In my system i created file abcd.sql at c:\
and used command mysql> source c:\abcd.sql Then i got result
If you're on Debian 8 (Jessie) Linux, try to cd into the directory of the 'metropolises.sql'. Run mysql and execute SOURCE ./metropolises.sql;
Basically, try the relative path. I tried this and it works.
If you are running dockerized MySQL container such as ones from this official Docker Image registry: https://hub.docker.com/_/mysql/ You may encounter this issue as well.
For me it was because the file was located on a shared drive and it could not access, for some reason, to that path.
I cut the file and put it on my local drive in a path without spaces and it got resolved.
I got the same error when i used the command source and gave the sql file path by drag n dropping it.
Then I just had to remove those single quotes which appeared by default with drag and drop, a space before file extension and it worked.
soln:
source /home/xyz/file .sql ;(path and a space before file extension)
For Mac users, you can give the path as,
source /Users/YOUR_USER_NAME/Desktop/metropolises.sql;
*I have assumed that the file you need to source is in your desktop and the file name is metropolises.sql
If you type,
source metropolises.sql
then the file will be look in the default location,
/Users/YOUR_USER_NAME/metropolises.sql;
The solution for me was file permissions in Windows. Just give full control in the file to all users and it will work. After the import, get the permissions back to what it was before.
I had a problem on my Mac because one of the folder (directory) names in the path had a space in the name. BTW, the space was escaped by a \, but that was not understood by mySQL
solution - 1) Make sure you're in the root folder of your app. eg app/db/schema.sql.
solution - 2) open/reveal the folder on your window and drag&&drop in the command line next to keywork source (space) filesource. eg source User/myMAC/app/db/schema.sql
I get into this problem in my Xubuntu desktop. I fixed it by renaming all my files and folders so there is no space in the file path.
Passing the full path does not error, but if the folders have MySQL spaces it does not recognize the .sql file.
I have MySQL 8.0.21 on OS UNIX.
I've got the same error on Windows. I solved it running the code on MySQL command line
source c:\Users\xx\Downloads\data_file.sql
Remove spaces in the folder names of the path, It worked for my mac path.
(Eg: change the folder name MySQL Server 5.1 to MySQLServer5.1)
I also got the same message when I try from the MySQL console. However, when I open the command prompt and do the same steps it works.
C:\Users\SubhenduD>cd ../
C:\Users>cd ../
C:\>cd \xampp\mysql\bin
C:\xampp\mysql\bin>mysql -u -root
