Could someone help me on this please?
It sounds like the directory /opt/local/var/db/mysql5 does not exist. Did you set up the initial databases? It sounds like you didn't.
BTW, I just installed Cacti, who install MySQL 5, from the ports and "mysql_install_db" have some permissions problems since the mysql user can't write to /opt/local/var/db/. I have to change the permissions to get it to work.
