17,400 PointsErasing MySQL from Mavericks MacOS and Reinstalling, Error-free (hopefully)
Not really a question, more of a quick guide I came up with after doing some heavy research.
I hit a pretty large wall even after following Kyle Damken's tutorial as well due to the fact that my hard drive was cloned from another computer that I had previously used MySQL on. It took quite a while to figure out but I uninstalled MySQL completely by running these commands from the command line:
Use mysqldump to backup your databases to text files!
Stop the database server
$ sudo rm /usr/local/mysql
$ sudo rm -rf /usr/local/mysql*
$ sudo rm -rf /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM
$ sudo rm -rf /Library/PreferencePanes/My*
$ edit /etc/hostconfig and remove the line MYSQLCOM=-YES- (if this doesn't execute, attempt to just continue)
$ rm -rf ~/Library/PreferencePanes/My*
$ sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/mysql*
$ sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/MySQL*
$ sudo rm -rf /private/var/db/receipts/*mysql*
then uninstall all the parts mentioned in this video and then reinstall them and it should work fine with Kyle Damken's walkthrough, located in the forum here.
Ps. I'm running Mavericks on Mac OS 10.10 and installed the most up to date components of MySQL Workbench and Server.
