Start MySQL automatically when your Mac starts

Before installing MySQL, the installer automatically adds the system service and starts MySQL automatically when you start the system.

But after upgrading Mac OSX to 10.10.1 Yosemite today, I found that MySQL did not start when I started the system.

Try using your Mac's Launchctl to implement this feature.

method is also simple.

1. Edit a MySQL boot file.

Enter inside the terminal:

sudo vi/library/launchdaemons/com.mysql.mysql.plist

2. Enter the contents of the startup file:

<?xml version= "1.0" encoding= "UTF-8"?> <!  DOCTYPE plist Public "-//apple//dtd plist 1.0//en" "Http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd" >  < Plist version= "1.0" >    <dict>      <key>KeepAlive</key>      <true/>      <key> label</key>      <string>com.mysql.mysqld</string>      <key>programarguments</key >      <array>      <string>/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe</string>      <string>-- user=root</string>      </array>      </dict>  

The/usr/local/mysql/in the XML above is the directory where my MySQL resides.

3. Load this boot file

Enter in the terminal:

sudo launchctl load-w/library/launchdaemons/com.mysql.mysql.plist

This way you will find that MySQL has successfully started.

I have to say, the new Mac is also pretty good.
