You may need to uninstall MySQL and install it again.

I have unistalled it and reinstallled it twice and every time I type the mysql -u root command I keep getting the same error. I also get a similar error when I type rake db:create. it always tells me a library isnt loaded because an image is not found and I am not for sure what that means.

mysql.server start dyld: Library not loaded: @@HOMEBREW_PREFIX@@/opt/openssl/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib Referenced from: /usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.6.19/bin/my_print_defaults Reason: image not found Starting MySQL . ERROR! The server quit without updating PID file (/usr/local/var/mysql/localhost.pid).

That is what I get when I try to start my server.

What do you get with

brew docotor

maybe reinstalling openssl? Also found this

I got a lot more hits by searching the 'Reason' of your error message :-)

Also make sure you're closing and opening terminal after installing stuff!

Hope this points you in the right direction
