It's not the Server edition it's Community

Thank you for the report. Are you sure package is not corrupted? Please provide size of the package.

Disk Image -> mysql-standard-5.0.27-osx10.4-i686.dmg = 28,071,233 bytes Package -> mysql-standard-5.0.27-osx10.4-i686.pkg = 28,184,297 bytes I downloaded it twice to make sure and both times got the same message. Never installed mySQL before, though I tried once a while back and also failed.

Oh I think it might have installed itself without my knowing. I've just installed the MySQL.prefPane and that says "The MySQL Database Server is started and ready for client connections. To shut the Server down, use the "Stop MySQL Server" button. The MySQL Server Instance is running. etc. If that means the thing is already installed, then my apologies for the bug report. I went to the Terminal and typed mysql but it said -bash: mysql: command not found. So I assumed mysql wasn't on the computer.

Sorry for the false alarm - the MySQL was obviously already running (5.1) I've now managed to create a database and it all seems to be working fine.

According to last comment I'll close the bug now. If it is wrong, simple reopen it.

I have the same problem. I am running OS X 10.4, and I have tried to install MySQL 5. I accidentally installed the PowerPC version, removed the folder from usr/local and trashed it, and then tried to install the correct version. It told me "You cannot continue. There is nothing to install." I then tried to install the universal binary version, and found that the terminal command "groupadd" did not exist. What is going on?

This is normally a package version problem. If the packages have the same name/CFBundleID, then the package with the lower version will not replace the newer one. Check /Library/Receipts and delete the old one
