Make sure you have an user named 'mysql' on your Mac.
Didn't you (or your system administrator) accidentally
remove it?

You can check it by executing `niutil -list . /users | grep
mysql`
(which typically returns "19 mysql" or "20
mysql"), or with "NetInfo
Manager.app" in your /Applications/Utilities folder.

If you don't have 'mysql' user, re-creating it should be a
quick
workaround, like:

niutil -create . /users/mysql
niutil -createprop . /users/fred gid 74
niutil -createprop . /users/fred uid 74
niutil -createprop . /users/fred shell /usr/bin/false
niutil -createprop . /users/fred home /var/empty
niutil -createprop . /users/fred realname "MySQL
Server"
niutil -createprop . /users/fred passwd '*'
