I followed this SO answer; brew install mysql on mac os

At step 3 after typing in mysql.server start I get the following error;

Starting MySQL .. ERROR! The server quit without updating PID file (/usr/local/var/mysql/Oubliette.local.pid).

I'm at a loss.. I've tried dozens of different suggestions found on the web and I just can't seem to get it to work..

Please any advice would be very helpful.

When you install mysql using brew it will give you some instructions for the proper installation. I don't remember what that instructions are but you can find them by command brew info mysql or in this post.

Okay so I found the issue.. apparently I had an old mysql.sock file that was causing collision on start.. Deleting that old .sock file removed the issue..
