MySQL version on Leopard Server?

On my default install of Leopard Server (Mac Pro, version 10.5.2) MySQL is showing this version:
14.12 Distrib 5.0.45, for apple-darwin9.0 (powerpc) using EditLine wrapper
Why "powerpc"? Shouldn't that be an x86 version? Is that right?

This appears to only be an old string referring to the build options. If you run the application, go to Activity Monitor and expose the Type column, you should in fact see that it's a 64-bit native Intel application.

Is there a trial version of Leopard Server?

We are seriously considering building a Leopard server at the company I work for. With that being said we would really like to test it for a couple weeks to see if it can do everything we want it to, all without having to buy the $500 license.
Does Apple offer any sort of trial version of Leopard Server?
Thanks all!
-Sean

Members of the Apple Consultants Network can install a trial version for clients. Contact a member of the Apple Consultants Network, and make sure they have access to the Apple Sales Web, because that's where you download the Leopard Server trial.
The current trial expires at the end of January, 2008.

Upgrade MySQL in Snow Leopard Server

Hi all. This is my first post.
I have a Mac Mini Server with Mac OS X Server 10.6.8 (aka. Snow Leopard Server)
wanted to update the native MySQL. I followed these instructions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4006
Now I know that it is parallel installation of MySQL.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15535136#15535136
Finally,I installed MySQL 5.5.15 from MySQL.com (x86 dmg file)
Now I have three MySQL servers in the system. Runs only the oldest (native 5.0.92)
I want to:
1) Remove unnecessary MySQL servers.
2) I would like to MySQL service could be run in the Server Admin.app. If this is not possible to run the “MySQL Preference Pane” in System Preferences.
If this is not possible then I would be able to run in "MySQL Preference Pane" in System Preferences.
Working with AS is probably possible.http://www.jamesbantz.com/2010/08/08/upgrading-mysql-on-mac-os-x-10-6-snow-leopa rd-server/#more-172 (See step 6)
Now I have a “little problem” with the distinction which files belong which MySQL.
Please help
Thanks

Welcome to the forums.
The cited Apple directions in HT4006 are for adding headers and client components for Mac OS X Server for MySQL, and not particularly for upgrading MySQL on Mac OS X Server. (That may well cause problems.)
How good are your pre-installation backups? I'd roll those in, and undo the HT4006 changes, and (if you're not going to scratch this whole upgrade) follow what Mr Bantz describes in his posting.
Irrespective of the particular path followed here, you do also still get to "own" all of these changes, including the on-going maintenance and upgrades, which means that you own any security problems, the inevitable software upgrades and updates, and whatever other fixes might be needed.
Alternatively, consider moving to Mac OS X Server Lion (10.7), as it does not contain MySQL, so you can load whatever MySQL you want and (so long as you keep it from getting tangled with PostgreSQL) you're good to go.
I would not generally expect to be able to use Server Admin or the other tools to use or manage your local MySQL. The Server Admin tools are not set up for these sorts of changes and have a history of getting tangled when the underlying servers are changed. If you do manage this goal and do have Server Admin working and whether following Mr Bantz's directions or via some other means, then your changes still might not survive any particular future Mac OS X Server upgrade, or Server Tools upgrade. (Which means you'll have to debug and rework the changes, or find somebody that has figured out what broken and follow those instructions.)
If you discover you have the need for these sorts of upgrades often, I'd suggest loading and using Linux or one of the BSDs. Installing newer versions of stuff means more work and sometimes far more work, and tends to un-do what Apple provides, and tends to cause problems like you've encountered here. In all seriousness, Linux or BSD is the platform you'll want, if you find yourself tweaking; they're set up for exactly this sort of tweaking. Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server aims at a different market.

How Manage MySQL Databases on Leopard Server?

How can i work with MySQL
I like to setup a Wordpresspage.
What do i need to manage the Database for that case?
I am a beginer!
Thx in advance

Start by reading through the [Installing Wordpress|http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress] (specifically the section Using the MySQL Client) and also read through the [backup up MySQL|http://codex.wordpress.org/BackingUp_YourDatabase] codex. (MySQL is reasonably similar across the platforms and installations.)
The other piece of this whole process is to make sure your Wordpress installation stays current, and that you keep current archives on your site should you need to recover from a successful breach. Web sites based on Wordpress (and most any content management system in general) are popular targets for security attacks.
And welcome to the forums.

MySQL Workbench on Remote Snow Leopard Server

How do I connect to MySQL on Snow Leopard Server using Workbench ???
I have freed up some of the permissions, such as port 3306, in the firewall section of Admin. However,
this has not done the job and need to keep a firewall on a server running remotely. It is necessary to connect to MySQL before you install the database. It is needed because you must connect to the server in order to install the database enabling the script of the SQL file. I get an error that says: "Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet,' error 61." This happens when I press the button in Workbench that says: "Test Connection." I can go into MySQL and enter a password and create a database. This is necessary to load the actual data at a later time. I am also using Cold Fusion. This, too, is waiting for a connection to the MySQL server from Workbench.
Any ideas ???? Thx, Ted

If this is Adobe Workbench as I might suspect, that's probably the wrong tool to use for troubleshooting connections and related.
Try [Sequel Pro|http://www.sequelpro.com> or another similar tool.
If you're running remotely via VPN, that adds additional complexity to the configuration. As part of both local and particularly remote testing, using light-weight diagnostics (such as ping) would be warranted. This before running any juggernaut-class packages over the link.
(Put bluntly, very few juggernaut-class software packages from most any vendor will generate decent diagnostics for network errors.)

Max_connections Stock MySQL on Leopard Server 10.5.3

I'm working with a new install and am trying to go with the "out-of-the-box" configuration so the machine can be managed through Server Admin. My problem comes when trying to configure the MySQL server to raise the number of maximum connections available.
In /etc/my.cnf I've added:
max_connections = 300
maxuserconnections = 300
However, when the server starts I can see in the logs that the max_connections is set to 118, which I'm assuming is a default setting from somewhere. I've checked the machine for other my.cnf files, only finding one in my user directory where my MySQL username/password is set. I have no clue where else to check and the only option available in the Server Admin is for allowing network connections.
I've done extensive google searches to no avail.
Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

Resolved!!
Here is the problem. Even though Server Admin tells you that it is setting the mysql root password, it is not.
The root password that finally allowed me to login to mysql was the SYSTEM ROOT PASSWORD !!
Arrrrggghhh!!!
I don't know what password Server Admin is setting or why is calls it the mysql root password. Is there some other mysql account that would have worked with that password? I would like to know, but for now, I'm happy to finally be able to use MySQL on my Leopard Server.

Leopard Server 10.5.3 Netinstall taking forever

I built my image through the SUI and then set my server to do a Netinstall. It's working sort of, I can image some machines but it takes a very long time for them to boot or machines won't boot at all. Can someone help me make sure I have all the t's crossed and the i's dotted? I used to do this with Panther and Tiger and I could image 20 or more machines every hour with no problems. I'm on an isolated 100mb switch and I'm having difficulty sometimes just getting one machine to netboot to do the netinstall. In the past I used an Airport as the DHCP server, I'm not doing that at the moment with this scenario. I may give a run though on Monday.
Any thoughts?

MySQL installation in Snow Leopard Server appears to be broken?

I tried
sudo gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/bin/mysql_config
and it failed.
The mkmf.log said (in part):

Note that mysql_config appears to have been compiled with an assumption that /usr/lib
would contain a -lmysqlclient shared library.
Which assumption fails on my Snow Leopard Server installation:
minisvr:~ root# ls -la /usr/lib/mysql
ls: /usr/lib/mysql: No such file or directory
Now, I'm reasonably certain that I have done nothing to cause this library to be missing;
as I am also reasonably certain that the mysql_config found in /usr/bin is one shipped by
Apple (as opposed to one I could have picked up somewhere else).
Can anyone else out there verify: does Apple ship /usr/bin/mysql_config?
If so, does it supply linker options like -L/usr/lib -lmysqlclient?
If that also is true, does your /usr/lib actually contain an Apple-supplied libmysqlclient.*?
Now, assuming that my installation is reasonably close to what Apple actually shipped,
what should I do about it? Would I be better off to go find a source distribution,
and build and install mysql, foregoing the Apple-supplied integration with
management tools (e.g., using Server Manager to start/stop and monitor logfiles)?
What do other users of mysql on Mac OS X Server do?

Upgrade mysql in Mac Os Server Snow Leopard 10.6.8

Hi
The built in mysql server on Mac Os Server Snow Leopard 10.6.8 that I have bought is 5.0, I need to upgrade it to 5.5, how do I do that?
I followed these instructions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4006
Everything went smoothly except that the server is not upgraded still the same version.
Thanks

Chris is right. The only way, you can upgrade to 5.5 is by doing it manually. Apple will probably update to a later version with Lion. But MySQL version updates have been rare in the past.
Installing a different version is pretty straightforward, but you can not use SA anymore and have to configure the php, apache in the correct way. There are plenty of links out there which can help you.
So long.

Updating mysql and rsync on leopard server.

I would like to update to the latest versions of both mysql and rsync on a leopard server. There are already pre-installed versions from the original OS install. I am looking for the best practice approach here. Do I remove the pre-installed first or do I just install the latest builds over what is there? I tried installing mysql over the older version but it installed in a different directory than the original. And since Mysql exists in Server Admin, how will my updating affect it's operation here in Server Admin? If I remove both applications, how to best do this via command line to make sure I get everything, including older man pages? I also want to make sure I can access both applications by just typing the command name at a prompt. I believe I have to add the path to my bash shell somehow. I'm doing this just for my own education and not for a critical need. I would like to know how to properly do this but all I find on the net is installing instructions. Thank you.

If you want to use Server Admin to manage your server then stick with the pre-built applications shipped by Apple. Server Admin won't ever know to manage applications installed elsewhere.
If you want to build and install your own I'd recommend installing in parallel, in a separate directory from the Apple-provided versions. If you don't then some of your apps are going to get overwritten by some future system update (e.g. if Apple include an updated version of rsync in a system update, it will likely replace your version).

Why won't Snow Leopard server use an up to date mySQL?

I'm about to have to throw away a perfectly good Xserve since it won't update to mySQL 5.1.33 for Moodle 2.3. I'm almost to the point of deleting snow leopard and installing Ubuntu server in its place. I have no budget for buying an OS upgrade (our budgets have been cut >35%). so if snow leopard server cannot be upgraded (I see no technical reason for not doing so on Apple's part- I have this version on mysql running on an old FreeBSD 7 server for a trouble ticket server).
No, upgrading to a new version of the Mac server is not an option.

Grant, thank you so much for the quick reply. Yes, you're right, the tower is heavy as sin! Our more recent computers out west are iMacs which are much easier for us to deal with. We do have the tower upright. Bill just moved it here to our vacation house for the winter. Is it possible [don't underestimate him] that he could have inadvertantly opened the tower DVD slot and a decidedly important part fell out during the disconnect in B'ham? The discs don't seat themselves. It's like they're too large by just a smidge and won't sit level in the depression. As I close the tray the top of the opening scrapes the disc off. It won't let it go inside so I can begin the struggle with the install itself.

That's set up via the [MySQL command line|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/376]. Or you can install the (free) Sequel Pro GUI package, given you're probably more comfortable in the GUI.

Install Snow Leopard Server Software on non server version mac mini (2009)

Recently purchased Snow Leopard Server software to install on a early 2009 mac mini (non server version) running Mac OS X Snow Leopard. My goal is to set up and manage a server for a small group and leverage some of services from snow leopard server.
First of all, can server software be installed on a early 2009 mac min configured with Mac OS X Snow Leopard? This 2GHz Intel Core Duo mac mini has 2GB Ram and 120GB HD. Will the server software install remove the current snow leopard software or is there any special steps I need to take to get the server version software loaded on this mac mini. Any suggestions or advise is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Yes you can install it on your mini And Yes it will wipe the mini clean with a fresh install of the server software.
Suggestions ... Learn DNS there are many links on this forum to MrHoffmans very useful notes as well as many discussions about this topic , there is a steep learning curve ahead if its a first time for you !

MySql Database set up on Snow Leopard Server for Wordpress

I am trying to set up a mySql database on the snow leopard server in order to install wordpress.
I have played around with the MySql database settings (in the server admin window) but can't seem to figure out how to set the database name, username, and password within the Snow leopard server.
Do I need to use third party software like Navicat to create the database and user names etc? If yes, any idea how to do that? If now, how do I create a MySql database, username and pw?
I have put the Wordpress install folder on my Snow leopard server. When I navigate to my domain it says I need to configure wordpress by providing my database name, username and password.
Thanks in advance.. I am struggling here.

Can I install a version of snow leopard server on a newer Mac Mini model?

Hi-
I have Snow Leopard server running on a Mac Mini from 2010. I decided I really need some redundancy so want to get another and sync them in case of failure. Can I buy the latest Mac Mini model and install Snow Leopard server on it or will it not let me due to some firmware limitation? I've been able to do revert on other models and not others. Any thoughts?
Thanks.

****-So I have to find the latest Mac Mini that will run Snow Leopard Server? I refuse to upgrade to that crap they call server nowadays. It's Snow Leopard server till I move to Linux. Thing is, those Minis cost nearly as much now as they did when brand new. I feel like I'm getting ripped off. Oh well. Thanks for the quick answer guys!
