Just to share my experience of setting up Hybris for the first time on macOS.
Problem: My hybris server and MySQL server got started without any issue, but as soon as I did an initialization on Hybris from HAC, mySQL server gets stopped after some time and initialization stuck in between. Tried this process multiple times.
I have tried different configurations of mySQL using my.cnf file but got no success.
Hybris version: 6.6.0.3 MySQL version: 5.7.28
