MySQL Bugs: #5306: Mac OS X: 4.1 /Library/StartupItems script mis-named, failing

Bug #5306	Mac OS X: 4.1 /Library/StartupItems script mis-named, failing
Submitted:	30 Aug 2004 23:08	Modified:	2 Sep 2004 17:04

Status:	Closed	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Server: Installing	Severity:	S2 (Serious)
Version:	4.1	OS:	MacOS (Mac OS X)
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
In the downloadable version of 4.1 for Mac OS X, there is an autostartup program. It installed into the directory /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM.  The executable script inside the MySQLCOM directory, however, is named MySQL.  Under OS X I believe the directory and the startup script must have the same name.  As delivered, the startup script fails (without an error message that i can find).  

How to repeat:
1. Install the downloadable version of 4.1 server on Mac OS X (personal, not server)
2. Restart Mac

Result:  mysql does not start
Expect:  mysql should start

Suggested fix:
If you rename the startup script itself from MySQL to MySQLCOM the database launches properly on startup.

The StartupItems file is named MySQLCOM in 4.1.4 install
