You need to follow the directions to install and start the server. The command varies depending on how you installed MySQL. Try this first: sudo /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM/MySQLCOM start If that fails: cd /usr/local/mysql sudo ./bin/mysqld_safe (Enter your password, if necessary) (Press Control-Z) bg
