MariaDB won't start
I can't get online with the machine I'm trying to use MariaDB on, so I won't quote the full text of the messages. But if you need me to I can transfer them on a stick. $ port info mariadb mariadb @5.5.34_1 Mac OS X 10.8.4 on a Retina Display MacBook Pro, Early 2013, Model Identifier MacBookPro10,1. mysqld_safe indicates a successful startup, but ps -ef | grep doesn't find any processes with mysql or maria in their names. There is only one zero-length file in /opt/local/var/log/mariadb, rather curiously named something like .turd_mariadb_server. No actual log text. I found a post advising the check the ownership and groups on the log and some other directories were both _mysql. They are. If I have to put my MariaDB Mac back on the line, it will need to wait until tomorrow when I can go to a wifi spot. But I'm in no real hurry. I just want to learn SQL out of a book, and need MariaDB to do the exercises. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Without it, you get the server components but not the configuration or the glue to start them properly. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allber...@gmail.com ballb...@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonadhttp://sinenomine.net ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users

There is only one zero-length file in /opt/local/var/log/mariadb, rather curiously named something like .turd_mariadb_server. No actual log text. This is not curious. MacPorts uses empty .turd files to mark directories that should not be deleted. (During installs, MacPorts deletes directories that are empty; by putting a .turd file (or any file) in a directory, this makes it non-empty so MacPorts doesn’t delete it.) The command used in Portfiles to create .turd files is destroot.keepdirs. ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
