We decided to upgrade to Mavericks and Server 3.0 on our Mac Mini server. The JSS didn't like that. Whoops. The upgrade also removed Java, and JCE, which was a semi pain to fix, but not terrible. The JSS is running fine now, but in System Prefs I notice that MySQL is "not running" which is not possible as the JSS works, so it must be running. The only conclusion I can come to is that a preference file in MySQL is missing or a pointer is invalid. Has anyone seen this issue or knows how to resolve? At this point it's just a cosmetic issue but if/when I need to restart I won't be able to since I can't stop/start the service. Thanks in advance for any help.

Have you tried removing the MySQL preference? You can right click and remove it and then re-add it from the install dmg. I've had the preference pane play up before when updating MySQL and that's fixed it.


Brilliant, that worked. Thanks!


No worries :)
