Reinstalling MySQL on Mac 10.7 (Lion)

Had to reinstall MySQL because my mysql install scripts were failing because mysql was unable to drop databases.

Not sure what got misconfigured but I figured it would take less time to just reinstall MySQL.

Steps to re-install MySQL

1. Download latest mysql package from http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/

2. Run install programs

3. Verify MySQL icon added to Preferences Pane

4. Start MySQL on reboot

Done.

Now, MySQL is installed and ready to use.
