[UPHPU] MySQL Mac OS10.4

[Webot Graphics]

Okay I  installed the preference pane and it said that MySQL Server  
was stopped. So I pressed the button that said "start MySQL Server",  
and I thought to myself "oh that was easy"... but it didn't work. It  
thought for a minute and then just continued to say that it was  
stopped =(.  So I tried the command line in terminal

Webot-Graphics-Computer:~ Jan$ sudo /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM/ 
MySQLCOM start
Password:
Starting MySQL database server
Webot-Graphics-Computer:~ Jan$

Basically the same thing. Do I need to be running a Server OS?
