13,293 Points**FIX** El Capitan upgrade breaks mysql / rails server
I upgraded to El Capitan yesterday, after which I tried to get back into this project, running rails server
, but got a bunch of errors to do with APP_PATH
and libmysqlclient.18.dylib
not being loaded, and so on.
After searching around for an hour and trying various fixes from stack overflow (none of which worked) I ran brew install mysql
to reinstall/update mysql, and that fixed it. Something about El Capitan makes previous versions of mysql very unhappy and not want to talk to anything.
Hope this helps someone!

13,293 PointsHi Maximiliane,
I didn't uninstall it beforehand, I think it just reorganises your current installation to work with El Capitan, but I could be wrong. Though, I didn't lose any databases in the process, so it wasn't a fresh install.
Hope it works for you! :)

Well it happens that some file are either deleted in the update (if they change their system structure) or saved somewhere else and so on.
Thanks for the info. Didn't update yet but will today :)

Courses Plus Student 55,489 PointsHi,
thanks for posting. Crossing my fingers that this will work. Just to make sure, did you uninstall the previous versions of mysql before you used brew to install?
