No, I've installed everything successfully now. But neither MySQL nor Apache2 is starting. How do I start these daemons?

When installing mysql5 +server or apache2, you were shown a message that told you how to start these daemons. To start apache2 now and at system startup: sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.apache2.plist To stop apache2 now and not start it at system startup: sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/ org.macports.apache2.plist For mysql5 +server: sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5.plist and: sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/ org.macports.mysql5.plist If you only installed mysql5, and not mysql5 +server, you'll have to uninstall mysql5 and install mysql5 +server: sudo port -f uninstall mysql5 sudo port clean --work mysql5 sudo port install mysql5 +server
