#44496: startupitem_install not working as expected ------------------------------+--------------------- Reporter: ora.et.labora@… | Owner: markd@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: guide | Version: 2.3.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | ------------------------------+--------------------- Comment (by ora.et.labora@…): Replying to [comment:1 larryv@…]:
Are you installing from a binary archive? Can you try forcing a build from source? {{{ sudo port uninstall mysql56-server sudo port -s install mysql56-server }}}
Using `port -s install ..` did the job. This behaviour needs proper documentation or should work independent of -s | -b. ---- '''Side issue:''' Having disable startup symlinking in /Library/Launch* renders `port load|unload` unusable: {{{ $ sudo port -s install mysql56-server $ find -L /Library/Launch* ~/Library/Launch* -type f | fgrep -i mysql # ok, no symlink created! # Am I still able to start my server in background for the purpose of testing??? $ sudo port load mysql56-server Error: org.macports.load for port mysql56-server returned: Launchd plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql56-server.plist was not found }}} -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44496#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
