Description of issue

I upgraded the mysql formula today, it went from 8.3 to 9.0.1 (Homebrew/homebrew-core#170446) and now I cannot start the service anymore. 🤷‍♂️

doctor doesn't seem to find any issues, I get the following error when running services start mysql.

Bootstrap failed: 5: Input/output error
Try re-running the command as root for richer errors.
Error: Failure while executing; `/bin/launchctl bootstrap gui/501 /Users/thinkverse/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist` exited with 5.

Re-running with sudo for richer errors doesn't return any different either and running it with --verbose wasn't much luck.

I've tried uninstalling, installing, and re-installing and cannot get it to start. I ran services list and mysql seems to be run under root. IDK if that's the issue.

Name        Status  User       File

Does anyone have any ideas or should I wait for the formula to be updated?

This is due to Homebrew never releasing a MySQL 8.4 version and you can only upgrade to 9.0 from 8.4.

My fix:

Download and install MySQL 8.4 from https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
Find where it was installed to (for me, this was /usr/local/mysql-8.4.2-macos14-x86_64)
Run <path to mysql>/bin/mysqld_safe --datadir=$(brew --prefix)/var/mysql (e.g. /usr/local/mysql-8.4.2-macos14-x86_64/bin/mysqld_safe --datadir=$(brew --prefix)/var/mysql)
Run mysqladmin shutdown
Run brew services start mysql
Uninstall MySQL 8.4

Run brew services start mysql

Uninstall MySQL 8.4

The current output of brew info mysql sums it up nicely (worked for me):

$ brew info mysql 
==> mysql: stable 9.0.1 (bottled)
[…]
==> Caveats
Upgrading from MySQL <8.4 to MySQL >9.0 requires running MySQL 8.4 first:
 - brew services stop mysql
 - brew install [email protected]
 - brew services start [email protected]
 - brew services stop [email protected]
 - brew services start mysql

Does it means what everyone who previously had mysql, installed by brew, will run into it?

For the most of the users it's safe now to make something like

brew install [email protected]

to avoid autoupdate to the 9.0, and spend weekends to safe upgrade, because right now I already lost the half of the day.

Just for completeness' sake ... I had found this in /usr/local/var/mysql/<host>.err:

2024-08-05T07:15:12.008545Z 1 [ERROR] [MY-014060] [Server] Invalid MySQL server upgrade: Cannot upgrade from 80300 to 90001. Upgrade to next major version is only allowed from the last LTS release, which version 80300 is not.

In case it helps to identify the problem, for anyone who runs into this, as well.

MySQL does not allow the 8.4 version to be skipped and is obviously able to detect that.

To revert to mysql 8.3:

export HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1 HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_FROM_API=1 
brew update
curl -o "$(brew formula mysql)" https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/579f331b486821a037eccd3cb36832b18141b5b3/Formula/m/mysql.rb
brew reinstall mysql

(this will leave your brew repo with uncommitted modifications which brew doctor will warn about and provides instructions on how to clean up once a proper fix is available, hopefully in the form of a clean upgrade path via mysql 8.4 or at least a separate [email protected] formula)

mysql 8.4 is now available:

brew services stop mysql
brew install [email protected]
brew services start [email protected]

and then you should be able to just stop/start to migrate to 9, if you want to

brew services stop [email protected]
brew services start mysql

Try editing $(brew --prefix)/etc/my.cnf

Thanks for getting back. I'm getting closer...
I'm into the databases, and can look around. Discovered this. Bit of a Catch-22 situation.

I started with this;
mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &

then after establishing it was working,

mysql> ALTER USER 'postfix'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH caching_sha2_password BY 'xxxxxxxxxx';
ERROR 1290 (HY000): The MySQL server is running with the --skip-grant-tables option so it cannot execute this statement`

Tried altering just one db, but of course grant tables are excluded... and if I start it With grant tables, I can't get to it because it's looking for the supposedly depreciated mysq;_native_password.

The trouble is now as well, because it's now [email protected], almost none of the old posts anywhere are relevant. I keep trying.

So here's the short answer. The long winded one is just above.
Make sure MySQL is stopped and unloaded in the Syscontrol plist.

I went from 8.3 to 9.0.1 and everything stopped.
So I followed the steps above and ended up with the brew install of MySQL again, which gave me 9.0.1. Sweet.
Stopped it all running,
then
$mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &

mysql> SELECT user, host, plugin FROM mysql. user WHERE plugin = "mysql_native_password";

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

then for each user you want to alter.. (all of them?)

ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH caching_sha2_password BY 'xxxxxxxx';

Check them all with;
SELECT user, host, plugin FROM mysql. user WHERE plugin = "caching_sha2_password";

and it works.
my website is back up again.
Thank you to the original posters in this thread. I owe you a collective beer.

I got this error yesterday when trying to connect to my mysql database after getting it running. There is a lot of conflicting information on the web due to how you download mysql, versions, which OS you’re on, etc.

The steps below worked for me, and can probably work for you, too! However, you will need to install HomeBrew if you don’t have it already.

brew doctor
brew remove mysql

Above remove mysql will not remove databases, So you can easily run the above commands.

brew install mysql

Once you installed the latest version of mysql then try to see the folder of mysql installation by running

which mysql

It should show like this one "/opt/homebrew/bin/mysql"
The final step should be writable permissions for the mysql var folder by running

chmod -R 0777 /opt/homebrew/var/mysql

This has resolved socket and PID error for me.

Thanks

There is a lot of conflicting information on the web

And now you have added more to it.

chmod -R 0777 /opt/homebrew/var/mysql

This is terrible advice.

webninjjacoder Dec 5, 2024

Didi you tried, actually i was not able to find the correct conflicting file which was not able to write that's why i have updated the whole directory permissions and now mysql is working great for me.

If you are able to find the necessary file can you please share it with me so next time if we face any kind of this issue then we will update only this one.

Thanks

Didn't ask for 9

Wound up with 9 anyway, without being offered a choice

Discovered when my projects stopped working, because mysql failing

Hombrew situation normal, all fcked up, again

With any other package manager, I have to jump through some hoops to be sure a major version upgrade is actually the desired outcome and result. Not brew. How many issue reports and discussions spawned from this?

How many issue reports and discussions spawned from this?

There's always going to be people using the wrong tool for something.

If you need things updated to the latest version quickly: use Homebrew.
If you need full control over the versions of all components in your system in an immutable way: probably don't use Homebrew.
If you want to eat soup efficiently: probably don't use a fork.

emjayess Dec 28, 2024

Thanks for confirming homebrew's position as the most careless package manager out there. And for clarifying that stability is absent among the virtues upheld by the project.
