MySql on Yosemite can't be stopped through control panel if autostarted at start up

Question

After installing the script found at How to auto-load MySQL on startup on OS X Yosemite / El Capitan, MySql starts automatically at system reboot of Yosemite, but now it impossible to stop it using the control panel in system preferences

Answer 1

Try these commands in terminal instead of the control panel for now:

sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server start

sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server stop

I believe installing the latest version of MySQL will fix the GUI issue: http://coolestguidesontheplanet.com/get-apache-mysql-php-phpmyadmin-working-osx-10-10-yosemite/
