#44477: mysql56: check failed: 'field[1].type == MYSQL_TYPE_BLOB' ------------------------------+----------------------- Reporter: ora.et.labora@… | Owner: pixilla@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: mysql56 | ------------------------------+----------------------- Comment (by pixilla@…): All the MacPorts mysql database ports by default use different a "datadir". Did you create the mysql56 datadir by running the mysql_install_db script as the mysql56-server notes suggest? {{{ port notes mysql56-server }}} These steps should get you a functional mysql56 server: {{{ $ sudo port install mysql56-server $ sudo -u _mysql /opt/local/lib/mysql56/bin/mysql_install_db $ sudo port load mysql56-server $ /opt/local/lib/mysql56/bin/mysql mysql> show databases; mysql> quit; }}} -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44477#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
