upgraded but mamp still showing the 5.5 mysql version

@joris-lambrechts
Copy link

Mac OS X 10.10.2 & MAMP 3.0.7.2

Changed a couple of things:

Due to incompatible changes coming from 5.5 I also followed this guide: http://mechanics.flite.com/blog/2014/05/01/upgrading-temporal-columns-from-mysql-5-dot-5-to-mysql-5-dot-6-format/

Thanks for the script!

I have mamp pro and I get the folowing error
httpd: Syntax error on line 132 of /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf: Cannot load /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.5/modules/libphp5.so into server: dlopen(/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.5/modules/libphp5.so, 10): image not found

The problem is that it's using the wrong php version, si if I fix it, it goes on, but then I find other set of errors ending with the problem with the tables, the root password etc...
Does any one have experienced this?

@gregorskii

goliathuy, if you are still having the issue (and for anyone else) go to the /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf file and edit the line to point to the correct php version active:

EX:

LoadModule php5_module /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.6.7/modules/libphp5.so

I had to remove table_cache=64 from my.cnf.

Now mysql starts, but mamp does not recognize it? Why?

syoumans commented Jun 5, 2015

Thanks for this! Removing table_cache from my.cnf and adding the following to mysql_update was necessary in my case:

-S /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock

Got something in the MAMP/logs/mysql_error.log file along the lines of:

[Note] InnoDB: 5.6.24 started; log sequence number XXXXXXXX
[ERROR] /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysqld: unknown variable 'table_cache=64'
ERROR] Aborting

Try:

  1. Start MAMP PRO.
  2. Stop the MAMP Server if it is running.
  3. Select File -> Edit Template -> MySQL my.cnf
  4. goto table_cache=64
  5. Comment it out: #table_cache=64
  6. Close & save at the prompt
  7. Restart MAMP

@BrownSim Try removing the -h 127.0.0.1 from the last line in the gist. It was added because someone else reported a similar problem without it, but I had the problem that you're having with it.

I had to replace wget for curl and add a chmod but it in the end it worked.

Also, if you have issues on Mac OS X Yosimite 10.10.4 with MAMP rebooting until you:
$ ln -s /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock
You can:
crontab -e
@reboot ln -s /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock

It works for me with " -h localhost " in last line.

awesome script.
ln -s /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock was the missing step for me.

If you are getting (errno: 13 - Permission denied) error. Run below

sudo chown -R mysql:mysql  /Applications/MAMP/db/mysql/
sudo chown -R mysql:mysql  /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/

You could update your script to get the latest version of MySQL (5.7.10)

wget http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-5.7/mysql-5.7.10-osx10.10-x86_64.tar.gz

It's not working at all.

Looking for 'mysql' as: /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql
Looking for 'mysqlcheck' as: /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysqlcheck
FATAL ERROR: Upgrade failed

Is this only working with MAMP Pro?

Update: I stand corrected
It is indeed working. But:
run ln -s /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock before doing anything else.
I had to manually execute each statement in the script one after another.
Don't execute the last one. Instead in MAMP: Tools>Upgrade MySQL Databases.

@MartinGPuryear

I got here because I wanted the combination of MAMP simplicity (including the choice between latest PHP5.x and PHP7), but with MySQL >= 5.6.5 (so I can set default values for created_at and updated_at).

Ultimately I successfully used daancart2quote's version above, with three changes:

  1. I manually (from UI) downloaded the 5.7.12 version from the website,
  2. I changes the various 5.6* in subsequent steps to 5.7*,
  3. I allowed MAMP to do the upgrade (Tools -> Upgrade Databases), from the MAMP UI (you will need to do "sudo chmod -R 777 /Applications/MAMP/db/mysql/" yourself).

Hopefully this is helpful to others.

If you encounter during the mysql_upgrade step the following error:

(errno: 13 - Permission denied)

You can fix this by changing the ownership of the mysql directory:

sudo chown -R _mysql:_mysql /Applications/MAMP/db/mysql

Is there anything similar for the windows version of MAMP?

@kevinlui1109

Have to create a soft link or change it in my.cnf, otherwise MAMP cannot start or stop mysql properly.
ln -s /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock

+1 on getting this to run in windows, especially since mamp 4 isn't available for windows yet.
