MacOS – MySQL fails to start at restart after Yosemite update

macosMySQL

I have MySQL installed. When I had the previous version, it used to start after boot automatically. This is not the case after I updated to Yosemite. In System Preferences there is an icon for MySQL and "Automatically Start MySQL Server on Startup" is checked. I tried unchecking – restart – check – restart still the same..

Everytime I boot the computer I will need to start it manually. Any fix?

MySQL by default tries to use StartupItems. That won't work with Yosemite.

I made a launchd control that is still compatible with the MySQL preferencepane.
