Turning off Stock MySQL

Thanks. I had looked there but didn't see anything Here is the content of org.mysql.mysqld.plist:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Disabled</key>
<true/>
<key>Label</key>
<string>org.mysql.mysqld</string>
<key>OnDemand</key>
<false/>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>/usr/libexec/mysqld</string>
<string>--socket=/var/mysql/mysql.sock</string>
<string>--user=mysql</string>
<string>--port=3306</string>
<string>--datadir=/var/mysql</string>
<string>--pid-file=/var/mysql/h-72-245-196-242.snfccasy.covad.net.pid</string>
</array>
<key>ServiceIPC</key>
<false/>
</dict>
</plist>

I know that we are getting a bad DNS reverse that we are trying to resolve, but that was the only thing I saw in the file that seemed problematic. I do have a disabled key and OnDemand is off. Do you see anything else?

By the way, when I run serveradmin with full status I get:

*mysql:setStateVersion = 1*
*mysql:defaultFilesInstalled = yes*
*mysql:state = "RUNNING"*
*mysql:startTime = ""*
*mysql:logPaths:mysqlAdminLog = "/Library/Logs/MySQL.log"*
*mysql:logPaths:mysqlServiceLog = "/var/mysql/ferrari-moe.com.err"*
*mysql:readWriteSettingsVersion = 1*
*mysql:databaseLocation = "/var/mysql"*
*mysql:networkConnectAllowed = no*

When I run +sudo serveradmin stop mysql+ I get +mysql:error = "CANNOT STATERR"+

I was hoping to just kill it with mysqladmin, but I get

*mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed*
*error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)'*
*Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/mysql/mysql.sock' exists!*

I also don't have a mysql daemon showing up in Activity monitor

In MySQL.log I show
*2008-10-30 11:03:28 US/Pacific Stopping MySQL Service*
*2008-10-30 11:03:37 US/Pacific Stopping MySQL daemon...*
*2008-10-30 11:08:44 US/Pacific [E] MySQL daemon shutdown timed-out.*

When I run serveradmin shutdown.

Is it possible that serveradmin is just getting bad information somehow and MySQL really isn't running?

Thanks in advance

I think that is generally true, but there should be no crossover between Apple's MySQL install and the "official" MySQL install, at least according to the documentation from both sources. Serveradmin was reporting a running mysql although according to activity manager and top there were no mysql daemons running-- either stock or official. I just decided to force the official mysql to start up and it appears that it has. Hopefully launchd won't try to start up the stock release. I move the launchdaemon plist file so we will see.

No, I agree. I am only talking about running one.
