#30678: mysql5-server places socket in /var/mysql which breaks in-place upgrade from SL Server to Lion Server -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: jeremyhu@… | Owner: ryandesign@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.0.1 Keywords: | Port: mysql5-server -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Comment(by ryandesign@…): It does check ${prefix}/etc/mysql5/my.cnf, but all versions of MySQL—MacPorts', the official binaries, etc.—also check /etc/my.cnf. That's how MySQL is documented to function—see the paragraph beginning "On Unix, Linux and Mac OS X, MySQL programs read startup options from the following files, in the specified order" in [http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/option-files.html the MySQL documentation]—so I don't know that we should change it in MacPorts. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/30678#comment:7> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
