Now when I try to connect to mysql it fails, but after I run mysqld it works..

So what I n

Answer 1

Nowadays, brew info mysql gives you this statement:

To have launchd start mysql now and restart at login: brew services start mysql

Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run: mysql.server start

So running brew services start mysql will ensure it will run as a service and re-start on every login.

If you run that command with sudo:

sudo brew services start mysql

will make the service run on boot and not after logging in, which is more useful for servers.
