Description Roman Mostyka 2008-10-14 14:56:27 UTC 
1. Install MySQL 5.1 server on Mac OS X.
2. Start NetBeans.
3. Register MySQL server. Specify all necessary Basic and Admin properties.
4. Rightclick MySQL server node and choose "Start".

Result: Error arises by start and MySQL server isn't running.
I'm also unable to start MySQL server from command line with the command: "/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe --console".
But I'm able to start MySQL server with the command: "sudo /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe --console".
But in NetBeans I can't use second command, only first and it doesn't work.

There is a workaround to this, I documented it on my blog:

http://davidvancouvering.blogspot.com/2008/09/starting-mysql-in-netbeans-as.html

I would like to add support for doing this directly from NetBeans in the next release, so changing this to an
enhancement request.  Support for MySQL installations that require root access on Mac is not directly supported in this
release.
