Mac OS 10.6.5 MySQL 5.5.8 32-bit DMG version. I could not get MySQL to start, so I thought to roll back to the last GA Community release. I uninstalled everything I could find online, and edited the hostconfig file to remove the MySQL info. Then I tried to install MySQL 5.1.58 via DMG, and it works up to the point of selecting a disk to install to. I get an error stating that I cannot install to my hard drive because a later version of MySQL is already installed. Here are the details of what I did:
sudo rm /usr/local/mysql
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/mysql*
sudo rm -rf /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM
sudo rm -rf /Library/PreferencePanes/My*
edit /etc/hostconfig and remove the line MYSQLCOM=-YES-
sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/mysql*
sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/MySQL*
What could be left to block the new installation? How do I get rid of it?
sudo rm /usr/local/mysql
