Getting MySQL working on OSX 10.7 Lion

Question

I\'m currently trying to get MySQL working on OSX 10.7 Lion. I tried the brew way:

brew install mysql
-> cmake        -> no problems
-> make                 


        

Answer 1

All,

I was having issues with connecting to my DB through Tomcat, yet could through the MySql tool. Tomcat was accessing it through the actual IP of my machine (10.0.x.x) instead of through localhost or 127.0.0.1. Turns out that when I migrated from SL to Lion, remote connections were disabled. Once I enabled them, it worked fine.

Hopefully this helps someone.
