Description:
After installing Enterprise Backup, the symbolic link for the MySQL server is overwritten by the Enterprise Backup symbolic link. The symbolic link for MEB should be meb, but it is written as mysql.
How to repeat:
Installed MySQL Enteprise Edition version 8.0.12 for Mac OS 10.13 64-bit using the DMG installer (mysql-commercial-8.0.12-macos10.13-x86_64 - package V979096-01)
root # cd /usr/local
The mysql symbolic link is correct:
root # ls -ld mysql*
lrwxr-xr-x 1 _mysql wheel 41 Sep 10 15:54 mysql -> mysql-commercial-8.0.12-macos10.13-x86_64
drwxr-xr-x 16 _mysql wheel 512 Sep 10 15:57 mysql-commercial-8.0.12-macos10.13-x86_64
Install MySQL Enterprise Backup 8.0.12 for Mac OS 10.13, 64-bit using the DMG installer (mysql-commercial-backup-8.0.12-macos10.13-x86_64 - package V979140-01):
The symbolic link for MEB is shown as mysql, when it should be meb. This breaks the mysql link to the database directories.
root # ls -ld mysql*
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 48 Sep 10 16:13 mysql -> mysql-commercial-backup-8.0.12-macos10.13-x86_64
drwxr-xr-x 5 _mysql wheel 160 Sep 10 16:13 mysql-commercial-8.0.12-macos10.13-x86_64
drwxr-xr-x 6 root wheel 192 Jun 28 17:30 mysql-commercial-backup-8.0.12-macos10.13-x86_64
Suggested fix:
Fix the installer.
