I need to install older version of mysql server on mac os, but I have a newer version.
I tried to remove this newer installation (5.1), but when start old version install (5.0b) message "MySQL 5.0.51b-community for Mac OS X can't be installed in this disk. A newer version of this software alrady exists on this disk".
I can't recognize problem, because I remove all data of previouse install, but installer says no.
Mac OS version 10.6.
Removing MySQL Workbench After Installation from MySQL Installer. From the MySQL Installer dashboard, click Remove to open the Select Products to Remove page. Select MySQL Workbench (the status changes to Ready to remove ) and click Next. Click Execute to uninstall all of the selected products.
The MySQL server is installed on the Mac, but it does not load by default. Start MySQL by clicking Start using the MySQL Preference Pane, which was installed during the default installation. You can configure MySQL to automatically start when you turn on your computer using the MySQL Preference Pane.
By default, the MySQL directories are installed under /usr/local/ . Even better, add /usr/local/mysql/bin to your PATH environment variable. You can do this by modifying the appropriate startup file for your shell. For more information, see Invoking MySQL Programs.
Try running also
sudo rm -rf /var/db/receipts/com.mysql.*
