Server start and the immediately stops it self. i am using mac. How to fix it

[@DewangShaw]

When I start .zshrc then I couldn't able to edit it because it says locked and also when I installed mysql server I saw that my serven starts and stops in a cycle. For some time it starts and for some time it stops.

[@Harshitsamrat]

same did you find any solution

[@DewangShaw]

@@Harshitsamrat nope... I think mac users need docker and microsoft azure for using MySQL.

[@Vampeere]

Check the version you downloaded. I downloaded a higher version for my OS at first which caused the problem you've got. But I changed the OS to the correct one and then it worked

[@DewangShaw]

@@Vampeere I have checked it, my OS version and mysql version both are upto date. But now I have installed lower version of mysql and still tried to edit .zshrc file but couldn't do it. Then I thought it won't work in my pc but when I took the courage to work with mysql then it never showed any error. I think I never needed to edit this .zshrc file.
