Remove mysql, prefpane item, startup item.
then:

sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/mysql*

There is a good complete explanation of this here.

To start, stop and disable mysql server from the command line:

# start
sudo launchctl start com.mysql.mysqld
# stop
sudo launchctl stop com.mysql.mysqld
# Unload
sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.mysql.mysqld.plist

So it turns out you can have the best of both worlds. I have been using ITerm for a while because it allows me to rename its tabs. Chad just turned me on to a hack that makes the same thing possible with Terminal.app:
1. Install SIMBL: http://www.culater.net/software/SIMBL/SIMBL.php

Thanks to this post, I discovered how to install the MySQL ruby gem on Mac OS X:
You must be using the x86 variant of MySQL, not x86_64, apparently.  Then:

sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386" gem install mysql — \
–with-mysql-dir=/usr/local/mysql –with-mysql-lib=/usr/local/mysql/lib \
–with-mysql-include=/usr/local/mysql/include

As described here, Command-Shift-4 will capture a dragged area of the screen and save it to a file.
Command-Shift-3 will capture the entire screen, or if you have SnapProX running, it activates it.

If you change the configuration for any site using the Mac OS X Server Admin tool, it will rewrite every single site file in the /etc/apache2/site/ folder.   Do not change these by hand if you use this tool.
This is somewhat braindead as for example to use pretty permalinks in Wordpress you need AllowOverride FileInfo [...]
