Could someone help me on this please?
It sounds like the directory /opt/local/var/db/mysql5 does not
exist. Did you set up the initial databases? It sounds like you
didn't.
Did you "sudo port install mysql5" or "sudo port install mysql5
+server"? You should do the latter. If you had, you would have seen
the following message which explains how to install the initial
databases:
******************************************************
* In order to setup the database, you might want to run
* sudo -u mysql mysql_install_db5
* if this is a new install
******************************************************
Run mysql_install_db5 as shown above.
By using the +server variant, you will also have a LaunchDaemon
script which you should use instead of calling mysqld directly when
you want to start or stop mysqld [1]. To start mysqld now and to
have it start automatically when you reboot your Mac:
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/
org.macports.mysql5.plist
To stop mysqld now and prevent it from starting at subsequent
restarts:
sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/
org.macports.mysql5.plist
[1] This assumes you're using Mac OS X 10.4.0 or later.
LaunchDaemon is not available on earlier versions of Mac OS X.
Hi Ryan
I installed mysql with php...
sudo port -v install php5 +apache2 +mysql5
So I assume I havent installed the client... tried that install you
have above but it gives me an error

Do I need to remove mysql5 and start again or is there a way to
install the server?
Thanks
