我认为如果已经安装了旧版本的mysql，就会出现这种情况。我也遇到了同样的问题，上面的解决方案对我都不起作用。我是这样安排的:

使用brew的remove & cleanup命令，卸载launchctl脚本，然后删除mysql目录在/usr/local/var，删除我现有的/etc/my.cnf(留给你，如果它适用)和launchctl plist

更新plist的字符串。还要注意，您的备用安全脚本目录将基于您正在安装的MySQL版本。

循序渐进:

brew remove mysql

brew cleanup

launchctl unload -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist

rm ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/var/mysql

然后我从头开始:

installed mysql with brew install mysql ran the commands brew suggested: (see note: below) unset TMPDIR mysql_install_db --verbose --user=`whoami` --basedir="$(brew --prefix mysql)" --datadir=/usr/local/var/mysql --tmpdir=/tmp Start mysql with mysql.server start command, to be able to log on it Used the alternate security script: /usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.5.10/bin/mysql_secure_installation Followed the launchctl section from the brew package script output such as, #start launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist #stop launchctl unload -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist

注意:啤酒清理的——force位也会清理过时的酒桶，这是一个新的自制啤酒功能。

注意第二点:一个评论者说第二步不是必需的。我不想测试它，所以是YMMV!

如果mysql已经安装

完全停止mysql。

mysql。服务器停止<——可能需要根据您的版本进行编辑 Ps -ef | grep mysql <——列出名称中包含mysql的进程 kill [PID] <——按PID终止进程

删除文件。上面的说明很好。我将添加:

Sudo find /。mysql - name“* *” 根据你的判断，rm -rf这些文件。请注意，许多程序都有mysql的驱动程序，您不想删除它们。例如，不要删除PHP安装目录中的内容。删除它自己的mysql目录中的东西。

安装

希望你有自制的。如果没有，请下载。

我喜欢以root用户运行brew，但我认为您不必这样做。编辑2018:你不能再以root用户运行brew了

Sudo brew更新 Sudo brew install cmake <——mysql的依赖关系，有用 Sudo brew install openssl <——依赖于mysql，有用 Sudo brew info mysql <—撇过这个…它让你知道接下来会发生什么 Sudo brew install mysql -with-embedded用嵌入式服务器安装mysql。告诉你什么时候完成(我的安装花了10分钟)

后来

sudo chown -R mysql /usr/local/var/mysql/ <——mysql不为我工作，直到我运行这个命令 sudo mysql。Server start <——同样，确切的语法可能有所不同 在mysql (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/create-user.html)中创建用户。请记住为root用户添加密码。

By default, a MySQL installation has an anonymous user,

testing, and to make the installation go a bit smoother.
You should remove them before moving into a production
environment.

Remove anonymous users? (Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) : y
Success.


Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from

我有同样的问题后，我试图重新启动mysql。

为了方便起见，我在.profile中使用了以下两个别名

alias mysql-stop='launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist'
alias mysql-start='launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist' 

停止mysql后，然后尝试重新启动我遇到的问题，你有。我查看了launchctl加载，它报告了一个“nothing found to load”错误。

经过快速搜索，我找到了这个..

http://www.daveoncode.com/2013/02/01/solve-mac-osx-launchctl-nothing-found-to-load-error/

所以我更新了我的mysql-start别名如下

alias mysql-start='launchctl load -w -F ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist'

这解决了我的问题，可能对你有用。

只是在之前的回答中添加一些东西-当从MySql 5.6升级到MySql 8.0时，我遵循了这里提供的步骤来进行干净的卸载，但我得到了以下错误

2019-11-05T07:57:31.359304Z 0 [ERROR] [MY-000077] [Server] /usr/local/Cellar/mysql/8.0.18/bin/mysqld: Error while setting value 'ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION' to 'sql_mode'.

我花了些时间才想明白。在这里找到了一个线索: https://discourse.brew.sh/t/clean-removal-of-mysql/2251

因此，我的问题的关键是在卸载后删除/usr/local/etc/my.cnf文件。 在完成最后一步之后，MySql终于开始工作了。
