I need a specific version of MySQL (5.7) to be installed on my MacBook with M1.
I'm trying to do that with Homebrew.
brew install mysql#5.7
The output:
We've installed your MySQL database without a root password. To secure it run:
mysql_secure_installation
MySQL is configured to only allow connections from localhost by default
To connect run:
mysql -uroot
mysql#5.7 is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /opt/homebrew, because this is an alternate version of another formula.
If you need to have mysql#5.7 first in your PATH, run: echo 'export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/mysql#5.7/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
For compilers to find mysql#5.7 you may need to set: export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/opt/mysql#5.7/lib" export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/opt/mysql#5.7/include"
To have launchd start mysql#5.7 now and restart at login: brew services start mysql#5.7 Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run: /opt/homebrew/opt/mysql#5.7/bin/mysql.server start
Right after that, I try to run:
echo 'export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/mysql#5.7/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
source .zshrc
mysql_secure_installation
And get the error:
Securing the MySQL server deployment.
Enter password for user root:
Error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
Also, I've tried:
brew services start mysql#5.7
And also get the error:
Error: Permission denied # rb_sysopen - /Users/vivanc/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql#5.7.plist
Seems like there is a permissions-related problem.
Any advice is appreciated.
If you are running into issues like "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock'" or "The post-install step did not complete successfully MySQL", and you installed a previous version of mysql (e.g. 8.x) previously, you may have been at the point where you need to clean everything before reinstalling your preferred version of mysql#x.x.
If you've already visited these to links:
Uninstall all those broken versions of MySQL and re-install it with Brew on Mac Mavericks (Coderwall) + Install MySQL 5.7 on macOS using Homebrew (github) and your're still having trouble with starting your mysql-service, you should try to also remove also /opt/homebrew/etc/my.cnf file.
Remove it together with all the related files too! Summary for an M1 Apple Silcion machine, after uninstalling via brew uninstall mysql or brew uninstall mysql#x.x, please remove:
/opt/homebrew/var/mysql
/opt/homebrew/etc/my.cnf
After this, everything worked like a fresh install (for me). Hope this saved someone's time.
While this question is specific to Apple Silicon and mysql 5.7, and I will address that in this answer, I would like to start by adding some general notes to save others time:
Homebrew supports mysql 5.7 for both intel and apple silicon.
https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/mysql#5.7
Homebrew supports mysql 5.6 for the intel chip, but not apple silicon:
https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/mysql#5.6
If you need 5.6 on apple silicon, it's probably a good idea to just settle with 5.7 since production will need to be upgraded eventually and the differences aren't that big.
In my situation I originally did brew install mysql and it gave me the latest mysql (currently 8.0). When I tried going back over it and doing brew install mysql#5.6, of course this didn't work due to not being supported on the m1 max (apple silicon). I ran into issues then trying to get brew install mysql#5.7 working. I followed some guides mentioning various suggestions. After playing with it for a while, it seems that running two versions of mysql at once will corrupt your mysql files and make it hard to work with and confuse homebrew.
I came across these guides:
brew install mysql on macOS
https://coderwall.com/p/os6woq/uninstall-all-those-broken-versions-of-mysql-and-re-install-it-with-brew-on-mac-mavericks
https://www.codegrepper.com/code-examples/shell/brew+uninstall+mysql
Before reading further, note that in my situation, I had a zip available for my whole local mysql database needs and could risk destroying what I have.
Warning! Reading further and executing these commands carelessly may delete your mysql storage. Make sure you have a backup.
brew remove mysql is a good command that got rid of my latest install.
I also needed brew remove mysql#5.7 even though this is the version I'm trying to install, but they were stepping on each other's foot...
brew cleanup is nice, I noticed it freed up some lock files.
I don't recall having any luck with:
launchctl unload -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist
but you can try it.
rm ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist has worked for me.
But note there will also be another file in there for your 5.7 setup.
I'd recommend:
cd ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ then look around to see if you have any mysql* in there. Then if you do, such as homebrew.mxcl.mysql#5.7.plist, then remove it.
These are some that worked for me:
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/var/mysql
rm /usr/local/etc/my.cnf
rm /usr/local/etc/my.cnf.default
Also:
cd opt/homebrew/var
Then if you notice a mysql directory in there, remove it.
It's possible you might have docker or something else similar also running mysql or mysqld.
ps -ax | grep "[m]ysql"
(Note the brackets and quotes in the above is to prevent the grep from showing up in the process list and matching itself unlike the lazier version: ps -ax | grep mysql which will give the impression there's an extra mysql process running)
Once you're ready, please run:
brew services list
double-check you don't have mysql in there.
Then double check you don't have any mysql process running:
ps -ax | grep "[m]ysql"
This can happen for example if you enter mysqld for example....
You might need to do brew services stop mysql or brew services stop mysql#5.7 or similar and repeat steps if you see anything on the service list or process list.
Finally, you should be ready for a fresh install.
The fresh installation process should be rather straight forward:
brew install mysql#5.7
brew link --force mysql#5.7
brew services start mysql#5.7
Then run brew services list to make sure your installation worked correctly.
If you see it's green and "started", your installation was successful!
You should also run:
mysql_secure_installation
Then choose a password for root and go through the list of questions like validation, etc.
Once you're installed, you might also run into mysql mode issues.
cd /opt/homebrew/etc and you should find a my.cnf file.
Edit it using either vim or nano.
You should see something like:
# Default Homebrew MySQL server config
[mysqld]
# Only allow connections from localhost
bind-address = 127.0.0.1
Edit it and set the mysql mode. For example, I don't want the no_zero_in_date mode, so I use:
# Default Homebrew MySQL server config
[mysqld]
# Only allow connections from localhost
bind-address = 127.0.0.1
sql-mode="ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY,STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION"
Then restart mysql like so:
brew services restart mysql#5.7
Then double check you still have a green status "started":
brew services list
If you do, then you should have the no_zero_in_date mode disabled.
You can test it with a query:
SELECT ##sql_mode;
You should now have mysql 5.7 running on Apple Silicon and have the sql_mode set.
If you run into more troubleshooting, do your best to get into a known state such as uninstalled, doing a fresh install, or already installed with some version, etc.
I solved it after hours of searching, it was because I had not cleaned everything regarding my previous MySQL 8.X installation. I followed this and got suspicious when I realized I don't have most of the folders there. I then did a search for all folders named mysql on my computer and found a mysql folder in opt/homebrew/var. After removing it, reinstalling MySQL 5.7, and starting the server everything is working as expected.
When setting up my Apple M1 Macbook Pro I was experiencing the issue of the following error message being thrown:
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
My fix was to modify the MySQL config file:
nano /usr/local/etc/my.cnf
Append the following lines:
tmpdir=/tmp
user=root
Then run:
brew services restart mysql#5.7
This fixed my issue, and I was then able to connect successfully with my DB client.
Seems like I found the solution (or workaround).
After installing the MySQL 5.7 with Homebrew just run:
mysql.server start
MySQL is started and then you are able to run mysql_secure_installation and mysql commands.
I got this warning:
You should change the ownership of these directories to your user.
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/share/doc /usr/local/share/man /usr/local/share/man/man1
And make sure that your user has write permission.
chmod u+w /usr/local/share/doc /usr/local/share/man /usr/local/share/man/man1
I run those two command then it works.
I recently updated and upgraded my Ubuntu 18.04 LTS running a Word Press site.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Evidently, the upgrade also included mysql which is locally running on the web-server. Now I get following error:
mysql: /usr/local/lib/libssl.so.1.1: version `OPENSSL_1_1_1' not found (required by mysql)
Any ideas how to go about fixing it?
I have met the same problem, and I fixed it on my ubuntu18.04.
I had found the same file at the path="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.1" on my computer.
I backup the file and copy the same file from the mentioned path.
sudo mv /usr/local/lib/libssl.so.1.1 /usr/local/lib/libssl.so.1.1.old
sudo cp /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.1 /usr/local/lib/
then it will get error fllows:
mysql: libcrypto.so.1.1: version `OPENSSL_1_1_1' not found (required by libssl.so.1.1)
and do the same work
sudo mv /usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so.1.1 /usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so.1.1.old
sudo cp /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.1 /usr/local/lib/
then the problem had been worked out.
on running django-server with django==1.9 and pgsql 9.5, virtualenv=15.0.9 with python2.7 installation no-wheel no-site-packages on ubuntu 14.04
no previous mysql installation prior mariadb==10.2 after which this error occured. tried purging mariadb then, installing mysql=5.6 from dpkg but it didn't solved it either, then reinstalled mariadb==10.2 for sudo apt-get install libmariadbclient but it didn't solved it either.
Any help would be appreciated, ....
getting the below error
Solved.
a gis plugin was being used in my project postgis and postgres used in project.
for that the very initial postgres installation must have put libmysqlclient_18 version defined by its own customizations.
after mariadb installation, the libmysqlclient.so.18 should have been updated, hindering the older linkage and setups.
ran the mysql/mariadb cleaning with this post
https://askubuntu.com/a/172516/735971
installed mariadb again, got the gis support and issue is resolved.
link to gis support libraries:
http://scigeo.org/articles/howto-install-latest-geospatial-software-on-linux.html
update:
got another error during running django server with postgresql==9.5 and postgis==2.2
Could not find the GEOS library (tried "geos_c", "GEOS"). Try setting GEOS_LIBRARY_PATH in your settings.
traced to evidence that mariadb-common files and libmysqlclient/libmariadblclient was still cached in apt-get
evertime I installed postgresql or any of its extension now, it used the cached copy of libmysqlclient.so.18 from mariadb.
so I removed all the unused dpkg configs
sudo dpkg --purgeCOLUMNS=300 dpkg -l "" | egrep "^rc" | cut -d\ -f3
CAUTION: it can remove all the unused package, for only mariadb related files you can do
sudo dpkg --purgeCOLUMNS=300 dpkg -l "maria" | egrep "^rc" | cut -d\ -f3
Also removed postgresql for the next clean installation overriding any traces of compiled libmysqlclient if any.
then removed any apt-repo related to mariadb from /etc/apt/sources.list followed by sudo apt-get update.
then apt-get autoremove and apt-get clean to clean everything.
then sudo apt-get install -y postgresql-9.5 postgresql-9.5-postgis-2.2 postgresql-9.5-pgrouting postgresql-contrib-9.5
but i must say mariadb V10.2 still clashes with other installations and system libraries like it clashed in prior versions for libmysqlclient.so
I am trying to install mysql and later phpmyadmin on a ubuntu 14.04 server after initial install.
So far I have configured Apache.
there is no mysql folder inside /etc/
I used the command
sudo apt-get install mysql-server to install mysql
When I do this I have no prompt for a password and the mysql folder is still not created inside /etc/ but it says it installed anyway.
First of all, I'd advice you to follow this link:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-on-ubuntu
Second, as mentioned in the link, sometimes (though in my case it took care of itself), you may need to activate MySQL installation using sudo mysql_install_db
I found this
https://askubuntu.com/questions/392438/mysql-job-failed-to-start
After following the un-install commands and insatllign mysql-server I was prompted for the password.
I'm attempting to install a previous version of MySql (5.5.31) on my Mac OSX device running 10.9 Mavericks. I have been told this is possible, however, I cannot seem to locate a download for 5.5.31 Mac OSX.
I have a later version (5.6.19) installed, and I tried:
brew switch mysql 5.5.31
but I keep getting the error message:
"Error: mysql not found in the Cellar."
And I know this is because there's no 5.5.31 MySql file for it to switch to.
Anyone do this on their Mac?
Thanks
This is an old question, but I stumbled upon it through Google, so here's to anyone to stumbles upon it later.
I was trying to install MySQL 5.5 on OS X 10.10 through Homebrew.
First, you have to add homebrew/versions to your taps with:
$ homebrew tap homebrew/versions
Second, install MySQL 5.5 with:
$ homebrew install mysql55
if that doesn't work, try:
$ homebrew install homebrew/versions/mysql55
After that has successfully installed, you will get the message:
...A "/etc/my.cnf" from another install may interfere with a
Homebrew-built server starting up correctly.
To connect:
mysql -uroot
To load mysql55:
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql55.plist Or, if you don't want/need launchctl, you can just run:
mysql.server start ❯ cd /usr/local/Cellar/mys
Try mysql.server start, if that doesn't work you need to update your $PATH. In my case I added /usr/local/Cellar/mysql55/5.5.40/bin to my $PATH in my .zshrc. You can find the location of your installation by using:
$ homebrew info mysql55
After that it should work after you've added that directory to your .zshrc/.bashrc/.bash_profile etc.
