Gestix on Mac OS X Yosemite – download this kickstarter to facilitate launching MySQL and Apache when needed

This tiny application has been created with Automator and can be inspected to see the applescript program inside it:

on run
    do shell script "/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe > /dev/null 2>&1 &" with administrator privileges
    do shell script "apachectl restart > /dev/null 2>&1" with administrator privileges
end run

The script will try to launch MySQL by calling mysqld_safe directly, thus without the need to have the StartupItems / System Preferences components installed.

Then it will try restarting apache as well, by invoking apachectl restart.

Download link: http://gestix.com/download/Server-kickstarter-by-gestix.app.zip

Open the application, it will prompt for the computer’s password.

Then it tries launching both services and displays a confirmation message that enables  sending your feedback directly to the supporting team.
