Was difficult getting Homebrew stable on Catalina after upgrade to 10.15. My greatest hurdle was mysql (mariadb). Ended up having to delete mysql entirely and reinstall.
May have been:
- forgot to run mysql_upgrade on previous iteration – that messed up some key tables in mysql database
- something messed up socket and re-installation mucked this up requiring rm -rf of the socket to clean things up.
- needed update to mariadb that I didn’t catch – still a few bugs in homebrew that I noted in updates
So, what I did:
- got it running long enough to dump my databases to safe folder – Innodb safe mode = 2
- deleted everything – all folders associated with mysql at all levels
- service uninstall in brew
- remove remaining files across system
- service reinstall in brew
- reset root password on newly reinstalled maraidb
- Used Sequel Pro to return databases from sql files
- restarted everything
And…. except for a few password issues, up and running again. Frustrating and took two days, but got it figured out.
Still may have remaining issue on wordpress and my ssl installation. I’ll have to go back and check getgrav documentation on Catalina upgrade.
