#28772: mysql_install_db5 works without '--user=_mysql' option, but mysql.user table not populated -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: knightcode1@… | Owner: ryandesign@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.2 Keywords: | Port: mysql5 -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Comment(by ryandesign@…): Replying to [comment:11 knightcode1@…]:
I have the binary package at /Applications/mysql-5.5.9-osx10.6-x86/, and it seems to be self contained there. The unix socket and data folders are all created in separate folders.
You should probably decide whose MySQL you want to use (MacPorts' or mysql.com's) and uninstall the other. It will reduce confusion.
I don't have a /etc/my.conf,
my.cnf, not my.conf
and /usr/local/ contains some other files whose purpose is definitely unrelated.
Having anything installed in /usr/local while using MacPorts is unsupported because of the many and various problems it can cause. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/28772#comment:13> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
