How to make mysql start automatically?

The problem / situation is a mac with jaguar, apache, mysql, php and a forum hosted ( phpbb2 ) - the problem is that mysql does not start automatically.

In the folder of mysql there was a folder that was required to be copied to the folder of the automatic start of the system. And under X there is the StartupItems in System/Library/.. the file is copied in the required place but it does not want to start automatically. Where is the problem or what can be wrong? The autostart of mysql would be essential for the forum, in case the power qoes away for a while it should start automatically once the situation normalizes...

... just in case would be of any use for anyone, it was a problem caused by apache 2. so changing that to apache resolved it.

It is not a problem with apache 2.0 or Jaguar. That is just the way it is. But there is ofcourse a work around. Create and AppleScript. Since now the terminal in Jaguar is scriptable just creat a new script and type in the following command:

tell application "Terminal"

do script "type here the script that starts mysql"

end tell

and thats IT!!!!! and just place this file in your startupitems (in system level library folder there is a folder called StartupItems)

Hope this helps

Hey, Thanx Dot...

I think he [ the guy with this apache problem ] did also some script modifications, not only changing the apache 2 to apache. So it works..

Thanx
