Installing mysql:sudo launchctl: command not found
I have run into an obstacle. See error message below **
I am Running: 'Mountain lion' , 'Mac OS X 10.8.3'
I have downloaded: MySQL version. Mac OS X 10.7. (X86, 64-bit), DMG Archive.
After several days of reading about: Installation of MySQL Enabling apache server And getting phpMyAdmin up
I found two sets of instructions: link1 and link2 about installing
apache, phpMyAdm and mySQL.
Link1.
i keep getting errors that i have 5+ urls in this message. i just deleted link1.
it is under 'apple forum discussions doc-3082'
Where this sentence lead me to believe I could use the version listed above.
There is NO version for 10.8
" Download MySQL from a local mirror. You want the Mac OS X ver. 10.6 (x86, 64-bit), DMG Archive. At the time of writing this User Tip, the current version is 5.5.34. By the time you read this, there may be a newer version to use instead. Open the archive mysql-5.5.34-osx10.6-x86_64.dmg. "
I followed the instructions on link1, and all went well until getting this error message when I type the following command at the terminal prompt:
1. I cd - changed directories all the way back up the file structure to type the command to see if it needed to be run someplace special but the same error came up.
2. I searched here on this forum and on the web.
3. I went back and checked over every step and everything that i typed.
4. I ended up typing the instructions below by hand
because somewhere I read that a copy/paste may insert invisible characters.
Excerpt from link1.
Code:
sudo vi /Library/LaunchDaemons/comdotmysql.mysql.plist
Use the following content:
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>KeepAlive</key>
<true/>
<key>Label</key>
<string>comdotmysql.mysqld</string>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe</string>
<string>--user=mysql</string>
</array>
</dict>
</plist>
Can someone please explain what I am missing ?
Why is this command ****
Code:
-bash: launchctl: command not found.
That is launch c t lowercase L not number 1
****
someone suggested that i echo the path....
It has been a while since I have been navigating around at a unix prompt.
That looks like the path is too long.
Can you interpret the above path for me if it is not too much trouble ?
An added note.
The following link2 also had a very nice set of instructions but unlike link1, this link uses the
'Preference pane' and 'startup item' which link1 discourages because it causes problems down the road.
I would rather use the command line and do not want to give up on this method.
The forum only allow for one url but if you search the below you will find link2 if you are interested. It seems like a good site but I do not want to mess up my system or file structure installing and configuring a bunch of things.
Link2. the coolestguidesontheplanet install-configure- apache-mysql-php-phpmyadmin
Now that I am going head strong with this project, I hope that my issue can be resolved quickly with this community so I don't loose my momentum.
Thanks a lot.
Hi.
1.
As you suggested I did a 'find launchctl' all the way up the tree.
Code:
MacBookPro:httpd shortname$ cd ..
MacBookPro:share shortname$ find launchctl
find: launchctl: No such file or directory
MacBookPro:share shortname$ cd ..
MacBookPro:usr shortname$ find launchctl
find: launchctl: No such file or directory
MacBookPro:usr shortnamel$ cd ..
MacBookPro:/ shortname$ find launchctl
find: launchctl: No such file or directory
2.
Then I just looked in the directories and found the below.
launchctl (is not a directory) found in bin.
Code:
MacBookPro:bin shortname$ ls
[ csh echo ksh mkdir rcp stty wait4path
bash date ed launchctl mv rm sync zsh
cat dd expr link pax rmdir tcsh
chmod df hostname ln ps sh test
cp domainname kill ls pwd sleep unlink
3.
I did find this.
Code:
MacBookPro:library shortname$ cd launchdaemons
MacBookPro:launchdaemons shortname$ ls
com.adobe.SwitchBoard.plist com.mysql.mysql.plist
com.adobe.fpsaud.plist com.oracle.java.Helper-Tool.plist
I think but not certain that mysql needs to launch from com.mysql.mysql.plist. I tried to run the code
Code:
launchctl load -w /comdotmysql.mysql.plistfrom the launchdaemons directory and
same error -bash launchctl command not found
thanks for responding quickly.
i want to understand this stuff
thanks again.
Pity Im at work... my Mac is at home...
I am puzzled by you answer, did you type which launchctl ?
If that produces nothing (understand - Return nothing - you can test with another command like ls to see...) then I, as a paranoid would go to root and search for it:
Code:
cd /
find / -name launctl -print
then check all occurence to see what they are...
Once found the one required, check if executable and why its not in the PATH environment variable
Would set it and see if now things og better...
installing mySQL: 'launchctl not found' &now 'nothing to load'
Thanks. I know that you are helping me in between things. I appreciate that.
It is also hard to decipher these bit long responses. I am trying to get right back but it takes time to run code and copy/paste here in some sort of organized manner.
1.
I had typed
Code:
Find launchctl
as the command. See last post.
Then did what you said to do.
Code:
Macbookpro:/ shortname$ which launchctl
/bin/launchctl
2.
I again tried the same thing. the command from bin directory.
Code:
launchctl load -w /com.mysql.mysql.plist
Same error:
-bash: launchctl: command not found.
If you look above in my previous post in the code boxes, you will see that I had already located one launchctl in the bin directory by navigating around.
I looked around
Code:
MacBookPro:library shortname$ cd launchdaemons
MacBookPro:launchdaemons shortname$ ls
com.adobe.SwitchBoard.plist com.mysql.mysql.plist
com.adobe.fpsaud.plist com.oracle.java.Helper-Tool.plist
and lookedinside of com.mysql.mysql.plist.
Big Mistake.
When I cut and pasted the code from the setup site, I had extra code
which I deleted. It was something like
Code:
sudo vi /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.mysql.mysql.plist.
Not really certain but I think that may have caused the
launchctl command not found
3. i rebooted terminal and executed the command again from
top of tree
and
from bin
Getting a different error message.
Code:
MacBookPro:/ shortname$ sudo launchctl load -w /com.mysql.mysql.plist
launchctl: Couldn't stat("/com.mysql.mysql.plist"): No such file or directory
nothing found to load
MacBookPro:/ shortname$ cd bin
MacBookPro:bin shortname$ sudo launchctl load -w /com.mysql.mysql.plist
Password:
launchctl: Couldn't stat("/com.mysql.mysql.plist"): No such file or directory
nothing found to load
4. It's the executable launchctl. yes ? If it is not a directory.
You seem like a systems person.... Lucky you
Me heading in as root.... I am a little brave but not yet.
But as mentioned, I like to understand the system and files and look around hence not using the GUI installs.
I am serious about learning (relearning) this stuff.
At this point just want to get MySQL and phpMyAdmin up and running.
I will be at this all day.
Thanks again,

still troubleshooting this.
Code:
MacBookPro:launchdaemons shortname$ sudo launchctl load -w -F com.mysql.myswl.plist
launchctl: Couldn't stat("com.mysql.myswl.plist"): No such file or directory
nothing found to load
but it is there !
Code:
MacBookPro:launchdaemons shortnamel$ ls
com.adobe.SwitchBoard.plist com.mysql.mysql.plist
com.adobe.fpsaud.plist com.oracle.java.Helper-Tool.plist
Sorry for not going over the rest of your post, but i want to concentrate on this small part of your problem:
First, Unix is CASE-SENSITIVE! If someone asks you to run "find" and you type "Find" chances are you will have no success at all (if you are lucky) or run something completely different without noticing (if you are unlucky). In Unix, "Find" and "find" are two completely different things. The same goes for every other file, command, directory, ...
Second: the "find" command is used differently and the way you used it (even if you have used "find", not "Find") would not have found anything. If you do not know how to use a command use the "man"-pages. For any command "command", type
Code:
man command
and for a keyword "keyword" type
Code:
man -k keyword
apropos keyword
The two forms are alternatives. Use either one and get a list of articles like the following (from a AIX v5.3 system, your output may look slightly different):
Code:
# apropos config
adfutil(1) - Provides the capability to merge Micro Channel information[...]
autoconf6(1) - Automatically configures IPv6 network interfaces at boot time.
autopush(1) - Configures lists of automatically pushed STREAMS modules.
bootptodhcp(1) - To convert a BOOTP configuration file into a DHCPconfiguration [...]
[....]
The numbers in the brackets are chapter numbers, the names are keywords. You could now, for instance, do a
Code:
man 1 adfutil
to get information about the "adfutil"-command. I suggest you do a "man find" (you can also issue "man man" to learn how to use "man" itself) and learn how to use "find".
