Thanks for responding Ryan I've actually installed everything fine; the problem is it's on macosx server, and it's more stringent with it's permissions. It seems that I can't create the database file or write to it as user mysql (which is what mysql would be saving as, correct?) I thought I could find the directory and chmod 777 it?

Hey - trying desperately to get subversion, mysql, ruby and retrospectiva working on osx server, but it's much more painful than the other installs I've done...
where does mysql save it's db? Seems I don't have write access....
I believe the default location for MySQL 5 databases installed by MacPorts is /opt/local/var/db/mysql5
...does anyone know of any tutorials to handle what I want to do/
What doesn't work for you? For example, if you want to run a MySQL 5 server, you should be able to say
sudo port install mysql5 +server
and then follow the instructions printed when it's done regarding how to create the initial databases.
For Subversion, you should be able to say
sudo port install subversion
and get Subversion. What problems are you encountering?
