#47831: mysql56-server @5.6.24_0 Documentation Issue ---------------------+--------------------- Reporter: gwong@… | Owner: markd@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Low | Milestone: Component: guide | Version: 2.3.3 Keywords: | Port: ---------------------+--------------------- Prior to "sudo -u _mysql mysql_install_db" there needs to be: chown -R _mysql:_mysql /opt/local/etc/mysql56/ This may be only applicable to Yosemite (I'm on v10.10.3) but it already noted in another ticket, https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44978 , and at http://serverfault.com/questions/543725/cant-start-mysql-5-6-installed- via-macports-on-os-x-10-8-5-new-install-errno . {{{ WARNING: Could not write to config file /opt/local/etc/mysql56/my- new.cnf: Permission denied }}} This is the warning you get as part of the port install, but then you run into ERROR when running "sudo -u _mysql mysql_install_db" As more and more users are on Yosemite, this may become more important.
