MariaDB homebrew install errors
I have just installed MariaDB via homebrew on my Mac. At the end of the installation I got the following error:
Warning: The post-install step did not complete successfully
You can try again using `brew postinstall mariadb`
If I run brew postinstall mariadb I get:
==> /usr/local/Cellar/mariadb/5.5.34/bin/mysql_install_db --verbose --user=andrew --basedir=/usr/loca

you do mail us, you should use the /usr/local/Cellar/mariadb/5.5.34/scripts/mysqlbug script!
READ THIS: https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/wiki/troubleshooting
Which isn't helpful! The tutorial I was following told me to run unset TEMPDIR, then mysql_install_db --user=mysql --basedir=$(brew --prefix mariadb); running those results in the following:
/usr/local/opt/mariadb/bin/my_print_defaults: Can't read dir of '/usr/local/etc/my.cnf.d' (Errcode: 2)
Fatal error in defaults handling. Program aborted
chown: ./data: Operation not permitted
Cannot change ownership of the database directories to the 'mysql'
user. Check that you have the necessary permissions and try again.
I suspect the problem has something to do with the /usr/local/etc/my.cnf.d folder. I've seen this referred to in a couple of things I've tried, but it doesn't exist on my machine. I have tried a few different mysql_install_db commands I've found in other tutorials, but they all throw up a (different) error message.
Thanks for any help!
Answer
Just open the config file at /usr/local/etc/my.cnf with your editor and comment out the following line:
!includedir /usr/local/etc/my.cnf.d
