When I put in mysql.server stop, I receive:

ERROR! MySQL server PID file could not be found!

I had this happen this morning, so I uninstalled SQL and deleted homebrew.

And then, I reinstalled brew and reinstalled SQL. And it happened again.

I just started up a sql server, connected to it through SequelPro, made a couple databases in SequelPro and then closed my computer. Now that I'm back, I'm having this challenge and I'm not sure why.

  • I tried that and it didn't work. I get the same error message when I try to stop the SQL server. When I do ps -ef | grep mysql, it shows there is one thing running but the PID number changes every time I run it. And when I go to kill the PID number it has, it says "No such process". – Sebastian Sep 23 '17 at 23:39
  • MySQL != SQL server. Please don't tag products not involved. – HoneyBadger Sep 23 '17 at 23:41
  • Is a MySQL server not a SQL server? I'm new to this. – Sebastian Sep 23 '17 at 23:49

    I think HoneyBadger means MySQL is different from *Microsoft SQL Server*, and the tag [tag:sql-server] is used on Stack Overflow to refer to the Microsoft product, not SQL servers in general. – Bill Karwin Sep 24 '17 at 01:59
  • Got it, thank you. Any tips for the PID file? – Sebastian Sep 24 '17 at 04:20
