如何在Mac OSX上更改mysql $ PATH？

Question

After updating .bash_profile , I'm getting the below path on terminal

Fahads-MacBook-Pro:~ jim$ cat .bash__profile
export PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/mysql/bin

Fahads-MacBook-Pro:~ jim$ which mysql
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql

May be for this reason service mysql stop command is also not working! I want to make the $PATH to /usr/local/mysql/bin .

Answer 1

First shutdown mysql

mysqladmin -uroot -p shutdown

Then, launch mysqld by hand

mysqld --defaults-file=...

or if MySQL is running with all defaults and you are just changing datadir, do this

mysqld --datadir=/path/to/mysql/data

Here is a StackOverflow question (MySQL 'my.cnf' location?) with multiple suggestions on where my.cnf might be for Mac OS when installed .
