Re: uninstall MySQL

Hi Glenn,

Thanks for the tip. Deleting the receipt .pkg worked insofar as I was able
to get through the installer without it telling me that it hit errors. It
performed what it told me was a basic install.


However,

Now I have two icons for MySQL in the main iTools screen! Yipes!

And the initial problem I sought to solve by re-installing remains... I set
up a root password and it locked me out of the web interface to phpMyAdmin.
I wanted to simply re-install it and start again from scratch.

Now things are FUBAR and starting from scratch has just made two MySQLs
appear. Hmmmnn...

Any more ideas folks?

How can I wipe the MySQL slate clean and start over?
