Thank you for the report.

But version 5.4.2 is old. Please try current version 5.5.1 m2 and if problem still exists send us full MySQL error log file.

I tried but the result is same.  My mac version is OS x 10.4.11.  After installation the mysql version "", i am getting the following error.  Please let me know correct version and pre and post installation steps for me.

Thanks in advance,
Kotti

Which exact package of MySQL 5.5.1-m1 was used?
MacOS X 10.4 (Tiger) downloads are not available, nor are there for PowerPC.

Hi

I have used a package "mysql-5.5.1-m2-osx10.4-i686.dmg".  

Please let me know the correct one to install and pre and post steps to install the same.

Thanks in advance,

Please help me on this one

We do NOT provide 5.5.x binaries for Mac OS X 10.4.x on PowerPC. Looks like this platform will NOT be supported soon. Read http://www.mysql.com/support/eol-notice.html.

So, if neither http://downloads.mysql.com/archives/mysql-5.4/mysql-5.4.2-beta-osx10.4-powerpc.dmg nor http://downloads.mysql.com/archives/mysql-5.4/mysql-5.4.2-beta-osx10.4-powerpc.tar.gz works for you, looks like you have to build 5.5.x from latest sources.
