Starting MySQL at boottime

This assumes a running MySQL Server on the system. For installing MySQL you can use FINK.

1. Create a new dir in /Library/StartupItems

sudo mkdir /Library/StartupItems/Mysql

and place the following two files in it:

2. File 1: MySQL

#!/bin/sh ## # Start MySQL Server ## . /etc/rc.common ConsoleMessage "Starting MySQL Server" /sw/bin/safe_mysqld &

3. File 2: StartupParameters.plist

{ Description = "MySQL Initialization"; Provides = ("MySQL"); Requires = ("Network", "Disks", "Resolver"); Uses = ("NFS"); OrderPreference = "Last"; Messages = { start = "Starting MySQL"; stop = "Stopping MySQL"; }; }

4. Chmod the first file:

chmod 700 MySQL

These settings are taken form the OpenBase-Server startup-settings, so feel free to compare.
