Definitely related. Do a "port cat mysql5" and read the message that should have been output to you right at the end of the installation process: you need to run "sudo -u ${mysqluser} mysql_install_db5" in order to initialize the MySQL server before you can even attempt to run it, where ${mysqluser} is the name of the user that will handling your database chores on your system (most likely '_mysql' on Leopard). Once you do that, you can try starting the server manually with "sudo / opt/local/share/mysql5/mysql/mysql.server start" and work your way from there depending on your particular setup (creating new users, editing the cnf file, whatever). After that you should be able to run MySQL5 at boot time by enabling the Launchd plist we install. Regards,... -jmpp
