1. It would help if permissions were set properly so MySQL could create its socket file in /opt/local/var/db/mysql5.

I cannot explain why your /opt/local/var/db/mysql5 directory was not owned by mysql:mysql; it should be, since the mysql5 port has contained code to create the directory with that ownership since r13929. Note that the socket file does not usually go there; the socket file is supposed to go in /opt/local/var/run/mysql5 -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/14600#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
