There ya go.
launchctl will happily unload "com.mysql.mysql.plist" because, well, it's loaded, but you have to specify the path in order to load it.
Since "/com.mysql.mysql.plist" doesn't exist, you get an error message.
"/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.mysql.mysql.plist" does exist.

The manual load and unload isn't strictly necessary unless you want to do that.
On startup, launchctl will load the plist files appropriately (if they are not flagged as disabled).

LaunchDaemons run whether anyone is logged in or not. LaunchAgents will load at user logins.

Thanks for the reminder to use the man.

Still working on it.

Thanks vib.

Replying to these posts is a bit weird.

I cannot see the entire thread and click respond to each person individually.

Still working on this and making progress.

I spent hours today navigating around using terminal.
Looking at directory structures and opening up files.
Things are clearing up but still not confident.
Just want to say thanks again.

I feel sorry for you because I can guess you are struggling... On my Mac laptop I use at home only for safari (browser to come here) or write scripts or show young students what is unix and what are the firsts commands to know including vi, I therefore rarely need to be root but have configured configured sudoers accordingly to my needs hehe ( oh and I go terminal when want to do some change in kernel...), my advice would be to go through command line as a user and learn properly unix commands and vi ( the editor...) before trying to do software configs through command line because what you see in command line not the same as what Mac shows you in GUI...
Its so true I created a user the unix way on my laptop and when testing, seen it doesnt show up in the GUI, but if I open a terminal and login, it works and we are 2 on the lappy... I never bothered getting the thing put right because of lack of time and have other priorities... but I know how confusing it can be... So get your soft installed by GUI and go after to look what has changed and look how, you will then have the key to understanding for future installs, perhaps in command line...
Good Luck

Yes. This did help.

I am still a little bit all over the place.
Navigating in UNIX.
Installing apache, phpMyAdmin and MySQL.
Using phpMyAdmin the last few days.

Still jumping back into the .conf files and .ini files to explore and understand.
It is fun but as I said, still a bunch of missing pieces in the puzzle.


Do you know anything about phpMyAdmin ?
I am using syntax as such:

Code:

$_SERVER

and although I am getting output in my browser, I am only getting

Code:

::1

Rather than 127,0,0,1

Just thought that I would ask.

Again. Thanks for the code to get specific help.

hmmm... scratches head .... PHP .... ist that something to eat? ;-))

You probably mean "127.0.0.1" rather than "127,0,0,1" (notice the "." instead of ","). "127.0.0.1" is the so-called "loopback address" in IP v4, while "::1" is the same in IP v6 (or "IPng", as it is alternatively called).

You probably need to activate some "IP v4 only" or something such option in your configuration.

I hope this helps.

Sorry, I read your response and used it to troubleshoot. I thought that I had sent along a thanks and that it was helpful.

I cannot seem to find an easy way to find my own posts when I logon to this forum. Do you know how to navigate from the menus ?

Yes: from the top menu select "User CP" and select "Subscribed Threads" from the drop-down. All threads you write to (or open yourself) will be automatically subscribed, so you can find all your postings from there.

Alternatively, go to "Advanced Search" and search for all posts under your user name.

I hope this helps.
