Answer 4

Worked for me on mac

a) Stop the process

sudo launchctl list | grep -i mysql

If the result shows anything like: "xxx.xxx.mysqlxxx"

sudo launchctl remove xxx.xxx.mysqlxxx

Example: sudo launchctl remove org.macports.mysql56-server

b) Disable to autostart the process

sudo launchctl unload -wF /Library/LaunchDaemons/xxx.xxx.mysqlxxx.plist

Example: sudo launchctl unload -wF /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql56-server.plist

• Finally reboot your mac

Note: In some cases if you tried "a)" first, you need to reboot again before try b).
