Re: Changing data directory on MacOS Somona

Having the same issue
previously (since 2021)
change of MySQL Data Directory path can be done directly (i.e., without using terminal) by opening MAC's System Preferences-> click on MySQL server icon (a dolphin) and then under "Configuration"->"Data directory" change the path to /Volumes/passport/databases (i.e. the external drive folder that I created for storing mysql databases) I also changed the permissions to that of mysql as owner and group. Worked for years
now I can't start the server. Any ideas?

Thank you

Eli
