After updating to OS X 10.6 you may notice, that your MySQL server is not running. The problem is a missing alias (symbolic link) named "mysql" in the /usr/local folder to your MySQL instalation folder in the same directory.
The symbolic link is working properly?
Do you have copied over? Or do you made a clean installation? I guess just a copy will not work. It's recommended to make a new installation. Please note, you have to copy your logs into the new directory and there is only one user 'root', with no password set.
Tom,
I did a FULL install of the MySQL, and in the installation it also has the Start-up addins.
So I do have a full New installation. As for the Data (Logs) I copied them to the DATA folder, thinking this might be the problem of just Nothing in the Data Folder?.
Firts Window that comes up is (Missing FD_2009) the last Log I was working with. When I try to Search, Nothing comes up at all..

Removing MySQL on Snow Leopard
I’ve been having some difficulties trying to uninstall MySQL on snow leopard (I wanted to remove the 32bits version to install the 64bits one)…The old instructions, located here are mostly good, however there is a slight difference (that makes the whole thing… not working!) and it’s in the location of the installer receipts…First you need to go to: /Library/Receipts and look for a file named “InstallHistory.plist”… It’s just a regular property list… Open it and look for the MySQL entry, and delete it…I thought I was good to go after that but… no! The MySQL Installer still says I have a newer version on my system… Thing is, the receipts are actually located in a different place on Snow Leopard… The answer: /private/var/db/receipts/There should be 2 mysql related receipts located there… Delete them, and you should be good to go!

NOW I need to get my Logs back in, But I hope there on a backup, as I have deleted Everything I could find to Reinstall.
More in a bit, and THANKS TOM!..
As always, you jump in to help out, and it's appreciated!..
