I am trying to get mysql to start/restart properly on my system.

FYI, you do not need to specify +darwin_8; +darwin_8 is auto-selected for you on Darwin 8 (a.k.a. Mac OS X 10.4) systems.
I get the output
---> Creating launchd control script ########################################################### # A startup item has been generated that will aid in # starting mysql5 with launchd. It is disabled # by default. Execute the following command to start it, # and to cause it to launch at startup: # # sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/ org.macports.mysql5.plist ###########################################################
I finish up (after the installation) with
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/ org.macports.mysql5.plist nothing found to load
hmmm - any ideas why this isn't found/loaded/etc ?
That's odd. I only get the message "nothing found to load" when a plist file does not exist. Does it exist? Here's how it is on my system: $ ls -l /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5.plist lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 74 Sep 10 21:49 /Library/LaunchDaemons/ org.macports.mysql5.plist -> /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/ org.macports.mysql5/org.macports.mysql5.plist $ ls -l /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5/ org.macports.mysql5.plist -rw-r--r-- 2 root wheel 981 Oct 1 01:29 /opt/local/etc/ LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5/org.macports.mysql5.plist If you do not have these items, what does "port contents mysql5" tell you? Is the plist shown there? $ port contents mysql5 | grep plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5.plist /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5/ org.macports.mysql5.plist Do you have the latest MacPorts and port definitions? "sudo port selfupdate"
