Fatal error: Please read “Security” section of the manual to find out how to run mysqld as root

Question

I am not sure how to fix this:

dyn-72-33-214-45:python mona$ sudo /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld stop
2014-09-06 09:49:04 0 [Warning] TIMESTAMP with implicit DE         


        

Answer 1

osx could be using launchctl to launch mysql. Try this:

sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.mysql.mysqld.plist
