Re: nothing happens when I run mysql-proxy --proxy-lua-script=first_example.lua -D

Did you try connecting to the proxy after you started it?

For instance, you should start it with the command you posted.

And then you should login to the proxy, using a command like the following (you must connect to port 4040):

mysql -u USERNAME -pPASSWORD -h 127.0.0.1 -P 4040

Note the -h 127.0.0.1 should force a TCP/IP connection, but if not, you can use the --protocol=TCP option to ensure that it connects via port 4040 (or whichever port you run proxy on, but it is 4040 by default).

Once connected, issue some commands, and then you should see output in the window/console where you invoked the proxy.
