#19980: mysql5 failed after upgrade ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Reporter: Dormilich@… | Owner: ryandesign@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.7.1 Keywords: | Port: mysql5 mysql5-server ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Comment(by ryandesign@…): Replying to [comment:4 Dormilich@…]:
"sudo port load mysql5-server" basicly solved the problem, Ok, that's good to know. Then the port is working correctly.
despite that the upgrade itself failed to install "mysql5-server" (i.e. it only installed "mysql5"). I'm afraid it was not possible to have the mysql5 port install the mysql5-server port for you. That is why I had the mysql5 port output this message if you attempt to use the now-obsolete +server variant: {{{ The +server variant is obsolete. Please install the mysql5-server port instead. }}}
I recommend putting that (about (un)loading the server) into the HowTo section. While that recommendation does apply to all server ports, it wouldn't be a bad idea to add a bit about upgrades to the how-to. It currently mentions a bit about conf files when upgrading apache2, but doesn't mention anything about upgrading mysql5, which should probably at least mention the use of mysql_upgrade. Again, feel free to edit the wiki.
