#39728: mysql55 @5.5.32_1 mysql_install_db fails when using _mysql user ------------------------------+----------------------- Reporter: pearcemerritt@… | Owner: pixilla@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: mysql55 | ------------------------------+----------------------- Comment (by pixilla@…): What are the permissions on your data directory: {{{ $ ls -dl /opt/local/var/db/mysql55 }}} The mysql55-server port should be creating the data directory with the proper permissions for you. To test this you can deactivate mysql55 and mysql55-server, move your data directory out of the way and finally reactivate mysql55 and mysql55-server: {{{ $ sudo port deactivate mysql55-server mysql55 $ sudo mv /opt/local/var/db/mysql55{,-original} $ sudo port activate mysql55 mysql55-server $ sudo -u _mysql /opt/local/lib/mysql55/bin/mysql_install_db }}} -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/39728#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
