I am having serious problems to get up and running with mysql OSX. I installed homebrew, php and supposedly mysql.

When I run brew services list, I see the following:

Name      Status  User   Plist
dnsmasq   started root   /Library/LaunchDaemons/homebrew.mxcl.dnsmasq.plist
mysql@5.7 started sidney /Users/sidney/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql@5.7.plist
nginx     started root   /Library/LaunchDaemons/homebrew.mxcl.nginx.plist
php       started root   /Library/LaunchDaemons/homebrew.mxcl.php.plist

but once I try: 

mysql -uroot
mysql -u root -p

They all give me the following error:

ERROR 1698 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'

I also tried:

mysql_secure_installation

but I see the following in process of entering the password:

Securing the MySQL server deployment.
Enter password for user root:
Error: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'

How can I fix mysql on my mac?

  • I have actually been searching for this since yesterday. The link you sent does not answer my question. Those commands don't work for me – Sidney Sousa Aug 21 '19 at 20:43
  • I'm sorry, didn't meant to be rude. It would help others if you'd list what you already tried and what errors you got as result. – Kaii Aug 21 '19 at 20:44
