Zend Server Community Edition for Mac OS X – MySQL problem
February 28, 2010 | 11 Comments
I switched my dev. environnement at work from MAMP to Zend Server Community Edition a while ago but was disappointed that my Mac Book could not migrate because of a MySql error. Every time I would try to run the server, I would get the following error:
1 | ERROR! MySQL PID file could not be found! |
Googling this error, all kinds of solutions came up: privileges on the files, misconfiguration issues, installation problems…
It seems to be a generic message. After trying to understand what might have happened to the missing PID file, I tried re-installations and all the common MySql on Mac OS X tips I could find on Google. No luck. At least, MAMP worked.
Eventually, the same error occured on alheim‘s computer. He eventually found a solution which worked for him (SnowLeopard running on Mac Book Pro) for my own laptop as well (Snow Leopard on a black MacBook).
So here are the steps we took:
1 2 3 4 5 | cd /usr/local/zend/mysql sudo scripts/mysql_install_db sudo chown -R zend:wheel data cd .. sudo bin/zendctl.sh start-mysql |
Hopefully, you’ll get a “SUCCCESS” message, too. Thanks to Alheim for the tip.

Glad this post was of help. It was a nightmarish problem for me for a while, too
Thanks dude! Helped a lot.
[…] already wrote about solving the mysql error which prevents the server from starting. Researching this again, I found more information about it. […]
Hi , I have same problem in win 7 can you tell me how can fix that in windows , considering I used Wampserver
Thanks
GREAT!! This is the solution…
Two days i worked for the problem on new mbp with Lion…
…install zend… search answers with google… testing… uninstall zend… and so on
After my last uninstall of zend, removing the user/group zend, and going to clean start point.
Clean install of zend, login as root for tuning the /etc/profiles with the PATH, and taking your steps, the MySQL works… i love it!!
THANKS From GERMANY
Thank You!
I’ve been chasing red herrings for days – like Googling for “zend server ce myphpadmin mysql default username password”. After trying to connect with PHP & googling for “Lost connection to MySQL server at ‘reading initial communication packet’, system error: 61”, I came upon your other post http://www.worldgoneweb.com/2011/zend-server-community-edition-for-mac-os-x-–-mysql-permissions/, which brought me here.
FYI. I had similar connection issues with Zend Server CE on my WinXP. The problem there was starting Zend Server CE did not start the MySQL service. So silly questions like “Is MySQL running” aren’t so silly after all 🙂
Thank You (squared)!
A great thanks from France !!!!!!!!
I was a young developer working on a very important project for my degree when my MySQL crashed out ! 🙁
None of the solutions found on google resolved my problem … and i was totally depressed.
Now, i’m still a young developer … BUT MY SYSTEM WORKS 🙂 😉
Thanks again
Congratulations, and best wishes for your degree. I’ve been working for five years already but still think of myself as a young developer as I’m always learning. Great to know I can pass on some of the things I discovered along the way.
Оh my goodness! Awеѕome article dude!
