MySQL not working on Mac

I downloaded Mysql from my Mac, but it doesn't seem to work. I think usually the two dots should be green, but they are showing red. I clicked on "Start MySQL Server and it prompts me for my root password and after entering my password nothing is still working.




MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.2

I had the same problem but I was able to figure it out. The problem is the product version (download version) you were using. I have macOS monterey so it said that I had to use 8.0.34. However that did not work for me. On the MySQL download website their is an archive tab. This is the website I am talking about, https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/community/ . Click on archive and then depending on what MacOS you have will determine which version of 8.0 you will choose. I have MacOS 11.7.8 and version 8.0.28 worked for me. Hope this helps.
