/port install mysql55/ in fact install _both_ the client and the server. /port install mysql55-server/ installs what's needed to start the server eg the launchd plist file after installing mysql55 you'll have to select a version to symlink into ${prefix}/bin as below : bash-4.2$ port installed name:^mysql The following ports are currently installed: mysql55 @5.5.24_3 (active) mysql55-server @5.5.24_1 (active) mysql_select @0.1.1_1 (active) bash-4.2$ port select Error: port select [--list|--set|--show] <group> [<version>] bash-4.2$ port select --list mysql Available versions for mysql: mysql55 none (active) pro17:dports root# port select --set mysql mysql55 Selecting 'mysql55' for 'mysql' succeeded. 'mysql55' is now active. pro17:dports root# which mysql /opt/local/bin/mysql With the new structure in the portfiles, it's possible to install and run several different mysql versions at the same time : mysql51, mysql55, mariadb, percona. At present, I do think that we've only finalised mysql51 & mysql55 ... at least that's the ones I've tested and gotten to work (search for me in the dev-list ;-) ) :-) -- Bjarne D Mathiesen København N ; Danmark ; Europa ---------------------------------------------------------------------- denne besked er skrevet i et totalt M$-frit miljø MacOS X 10.7.3 Lion ; 2.8GHz Intel Core i7 ; 16GB 1067MHz DDR3 _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
