mysql can't start

I recently installed the 1.0 beta 1 on my macbook running os tiger 10.4. When i run the ctlscript, I get an error stating mysql could not be started.

sudo ./ctlscript.sh start
Starting mysqld.bin daemon with databases from /Applications/mampstack/mysql/data
STOPPING server from pid file /Applications/mampstack/mysql/data/Ryleh.pid
080819 13:40:20 mysqld ended

/Applications/mampstack/mysql/scripts/ctl.sh : mysql could not be started
Syntax OK
/Applications/mampstack/apache2/scripts/ctl.sh : httpd started at port 8080
Ryleh:/applications/mampstack guuthulhu$

i tried using phpmyadmin to see if it’d give me a more meaningful error so i could try and figure out why it won’t start and i get:

MySQL said: #2002 – The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server’s socket is not correctly configured)

Please help. Thanks.

Hi,

Probably you have installed the Stack as non root user. Could you try to start without “sudo” command?

doh! that was exactly it. i should have realized. it started up without problems and everything seems to be working fine. thanks.
