problems running mysql_install_db5
Bayard, Thank you for taking the time to do research and to provide advice. I am sort of glad the answer is not evident to you after your research. Maybe I am not insane. I have read the same documentation you have in the reference manual and as you quoted from mysql_install_db5. I have run the command both with -u mysql and, as you saw, without. I have specified the basedir as /opt/local/bin (where the aliases are) and as /opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin (where the original files are). I have specified the datadir as /opt/local/var/db/mysql5 because that appears to be the correct location for the datadir. I am sorry I don't have the knowledge of unix and shells that might help me better define the problem. Unless Bradley Giesbrecht can provide insight from my responses to his requests, I will turn to other sources for mysql as you recommended. Thanks, again.

Please send contents of current mysqld file
Bayard,
Maybe we are making progress. I am responding to your email:
Message: 8

I've got other ports running and thus don't have a chance at the moment to
download and install mysql5-server, but the stock install includes the
following:
if test -z $basedir
then
basedir=/usr
bindir=/usr/bin
mysqld=/usr/libexec/mysqld
pkgdatadir=/usr/share/mysql
else
As the post-destroot patches don't appear to change this. Maybe the next thing
to try is to set --basedir to /opt/local and probably set --datadir as well and
generally check the documentation for the command you've been asked to invoke.
Following your suggestion, I ran:
sudo mysql_install_db5 --basedir=/opt/local --datadir=/opt/local
Password:
FATAL ERROR: Could not find my_print_defaults
The following directories were searched:
/opt/local/bin
/opt/local/extra
If you compiled from source, you need to run 'make install' to
copy the software into the correct location ready for operation.
If you are using a binary release, you must either be at the top
level of the extracted archive, or pass the --basedir option
pointing to that location.
I don't understand this result because my_print_defaults5, an alias file, is
in /opt/local/bin which was searched. It appears that mysql_install_db5 could
not properly treat an alias file. The original, my_print_defaults is in
/opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin.
Curiously, I ran:
echo $PATH
/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin
Then, using the Finder, I got information about my_print_defaults and
discovered that it is an executable file. So I ran:
/opt/local/bin/my_print_defaults5
/opt/local/bin/my_print_defaults5 Ver 1.6 for apple-darwin10.6.0 at i386

Default options are read from the following files in the given order:
/etc/my.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf /opt/local/etc/mysql5/my.cnf ~/.my.cnf

extra-file(No default value)
Example usage:
/opt/local/bin/my_print_defaults5 --defaults-file=example.cnf client mysql
I got lost here. My knowledge is not advanced enough to understand this
result and construct a command.
Am I on the right track? Where do I go from here?

Re: Please send contents of current mysqld file
Ryan, I don't trust my memory to put the files I moved back to their origins, so I uninstalled mysql5 @5.1.55_0 and mysql5-server @5.1.55_0. Then I installed them. Then, following the installation directions, I ran sudo port load mysql5-server. Then, again following the directions, I ran sudo -u _mysql mysql_install_db5 with this result: FATAL ERROR: Could not find mysqld The following directories were searched: /usr/local/mysql-5.5.6-rc-osx10.6-x86_64/libexec /usr/local/mysql-5.5.6-rc-osx10.6-x86_64/sbin /usr/local/mysql-5.5.6-rc-osx10.6-x86_64/bin If you compiled from source, you need to run 'make install' to copy the software into the correct location ready for operation. If you are using a binary release, you must either be at the top level of the extracted archive, or pass the --basedir option pointing to that location. Then, following the wiki which says if that command does not work try sudo mysql5_install_db5, I ran it with the same result as above. Then I tried this command: sudo -u mysql mysql_install_db5 with the same result as above. This is the command from the wiki. The command in the terminal installation directions is slightly different: sudo -u _mysql mysql_install_db5. Then, just for fun, I followed the wiki to see if the server is running. I ran ps -ax | grep mysql. The result was: 5406 ?? 0:00.02 /opt/local/bin/daemondo --label=mysql5 --start-cmd /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5/mysql5.wrapper start ; --stop-cmd /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5/mysql5.wrapper stop ; --restart-cmd /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5/mysql5.wrapper restart ; --pid=none 5875 ttys0000:00.00 grep mysql I have never run that command, but I see no error messages, so I suspect the server is running.

David, I assume you're referring to this message: http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-users/2011-March/023756.html There, all you showed was that mysql_install_db5 was unable to find mysqld in directories under /usr/local/mysql-5.5.6-rc-osx10.6-x86_64. Those directories are where an official mysql.com installation of mysql would have put files, so that's not the correct place for a MacPorts mysql to be searching for things, and you already said you deleted all files there, so it's no surprise it can't find it there. This does not indicate mysqld is corrupt; it indicates mysql_install_db5 is searching for mysqld in the wrong places. We need to figure out why it's doing that. Following that, you started moving MacPorts-installed files around, which should not be necessary for success, so I'm not going to deal with anything past that point. Put all MacPorts-installed files back where they were, then we can investigate further. David J.

Somehow it is getting corrupted on my system, and I intend to find out how. I did not know that every system will treat mysqld differently. That is good to know. However, that information just adds to the mystery. My system is a bread and butter Mac OS X version 10.6.6. Not *every* system. But it differs based on OS version and processor architecture, at least. So if I send you the mysqld generated on my 64-bit Intel machine running Snow Leopard, that won't work for you if your Snow Leopard machine only has a 32-bit processor. It probably also won't work if you're running Leopard or Tiger, or a PowerPC processor. The reason I asked for the file contents, such as a text file, is that if I get the executable file my system might mess it up. mysqld is not a text file. It is a compiled executable program. I will continue to pursue other avenues to solve the mystery of why my system corrupts the MacPorts mysqld. As I have more information, I will pass it on to the email list. It might help someone. I doubt your mysqld is corrupt. Assuming you are following the wiki instructions correctly, and they are not working for you, I believe you have files on your system that are interfering with the normal way of setting up MacPorts MySQL.

Re: Please send contents of current mysqld file

Re: Please send contents of current mysqld file
Thanks for the info. I agree with your concluding diagnosis about possibly a rogue my.cnf somewhere. As I said, I have done my best to clean my system, but I will continue to do so.

I doubt your mysqld is corrupt. Assuming you are following the wiki instructions correctly, and they are not working for you, I believe you have files on your system that are interfering with the normal way of setting up MacPorts MySQL.

I can 100% assure you that if MacPorts extracts the downloaded file (and then patches, configures, builds, destroots, and installs it), it is not corrupt. MacPorts includes checksums on all distfiles and will not proceed if the file you downloaded is not exactly byte-for-byte the same file that I (in the case of the mysql ports) verified works correctly. mysqld is a compiled program, and how it is compiled depends on your operating system version and processor architecture. So getting one from someone else won't necessarily get you something that works on your system. From what you've written on this topic before, I have no reason so far to believe there is a fault in the mysqld program particularly.

Fwd: Please send contents of current mysqld file
Rainer, I am responding to your message of today: On 03/09/2011 02:51 AM, David Gentry wrote: My Mac appears to corrupt the mysqld file whenever I download mysql5 and mysql5-server from MacPorts. I would very much like to see a current copy of the contents of mysqld. Maybe that way I can determine what my Mac is doing to mysqld. Could someone please send me a copy of the contents of mysqld? What makes you think it is corrupt? What is the error message or behavior you are seeing? The behavior I am seeing: I am following the MacPorts wiki, and I run either sudo -u mysql mysql_install_db5 or sudo mysql_install_db5. I get the same response: FATAL ERROR: Could not find mysqld The following directories were searched: /usr/local/mysql-5.5.6-rc-osx10.6-x86_64/libexec /usr/local/mysql-5.5.6-rc-osx10.6-x86_64/sbin /usr/local/mysql-5.5.6-rc-osx10.6-x86_64/bin If you compiled from source, you need to run 'make install' to copy the software into the correct location ready for operation. If you are using a binary release, you must either be at the top level of the extracted archive, or pass the --basedir option pointing to that location. I had trashed the directories searched, and then I had run secure empty trash. I can resolve that error by moving mysqld to the same directory as mysql_install_db, namely /opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/, and then running sudo mysql_install_db5 --basedir=/opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin. The response is: FATAL ERROR: Could not find my_print_defaults The following directories were searched: /opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/bin /opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/extra If you compiled from source, you need to run 'make install' to copy the software into the correct location ready for operation.

If I move my_print_defaults to the same basedir as mysqld and mysql_install_db5, then the above error message will be resolved but another will appear concerning another file. If I move that file to the basedir, I will get another error message about another file.

After I moved them to my basedir, I ran port provides again, and I got the message that the files are not provided by a MacPorts port -- which makes sense because after I moved them they were no longer in the directories in which MacPorts installed them.

Ryan, I did all of the cleaning I knew how, and the results are not good. I still get Could not find mysqld and the statement that non-existent directories were searched.

--cross-bootstrapFor internal use. Used when building the MySQL system
tables on a different host than the target.
--datadir=path The path to the MySQL data directory.
--force Causes mysql_install_db to run even if DNS does not
work. In that case, grant table entries that normally
use hostnames will use IP addresses.
--ldata=path The path to the MySQL data directory. Same as --datadir.
--rpmFor internal use. This option is used by RPM files
during the MySQL installation process.
--skip-name-resolve Use IP addresses rather than hostnames when creating
grant table entries. This option can be useful if
your DNS does not work.
--srcdir=pathThe path to the MySQL source directory. This option
uses the compiled binaries and support files within the
source tree, useful for if you don't want to install
MySQL yet and just want to create the system tables.
--user=user_name The login username to use for running mysqld. Files
and directories created by mysqld will be owned by this
user. You must be root to use this option. By default
mysqld runs using your current login name and files and
directories that it creates will be owned by you.

Those symlinks were put there by MacPorts and they belonged there; you should
not have trashed them. Now we need to put them back. The easiest way is to
deactivate and reactivate mysql5.
sudo port -f deactivate mysql5
sudo port activate mysql5
Before you trash something that might have been installed by MacPorts, you can
use the port provides command; if it says the file was provided by a port,

If using Disk Utility's Repair Permissions command does not repair the permissions of /etc/sudoers you may have to su root and do it there.

Error: port activate failed: Registry error: No port of e installed.
I am glad I signed up for this email list last week because one post made me think that maybe I am not crazy. The post said that a port disappeared. Well, I have had 3 ports disappear. Here is the sequence of events: 1. Last week, I installed Macports. 2. Per the documentation, I ran port selfupdate. 3. I noticed that I could not connect to TCP ports 80, 3306, and 8500 from an http browser address -- all ports that are necessary for the shopping cart application I am developing. I got a browser message, Unable to connect to server, both from Firefox and Safari. I am dead in the water. Before I installed Macports, I could readily connect to my embedded Apache2 server on my Mac by entering my computer's IP address or IP address address and port number on a browser address line. 4. I checked my Mac firewall and permissions to see if they presented a problem that may account for my failure to connect to my Apache2 server. I could detect no problem with my firewall or permissions. 5. I used Mac's Network Utility to run a Port Scan for my computer's IP address. Much to my amazement, the result was that my three TCP ports -- 80, 3306, and 8500 -- are not open! 6. In my terminal window, I ran a command to list all inactive ports. I picked several to run a port activate command on. For example, I said, port activate [apache2] and port activate [mysql5]. I received the error message in the subject line of this email. What should I do now? I need my ports back! I have a couple of thoughts: 1. I could run a command to determine if the ports I need are even installed. If not, I could run an install command. 2. I could use Mac's Time Machine backup to restore my system to the way it was the day before I installed Macports. Any other suggestions? ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
