I can't access mysql on mac os x through terminal

  • I have a mac os x.

  • I install Netbeans 7.2 with Glassfish

  • I install XAMPP

Glassfish is fine, XAMPP has green lights, and netbeans is working.

I want to use MySQL with a Java application that's using Glassfish. I am not having success starting mysql from the terminal. Even after adding XAMPP's mysql to path

 export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/mysql

I still can't get to mysql from terminal. Will someone please help?

Solution

  • $PATH contains directories containing commands, not the executables themselves. It should be:

    export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin
