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"

The symbolic link to the .plist file was missing from /Library/ LaunchDaemons I created the symbolic link by hand. Now things are working as expected.

mac 2 # sudo port selfupdate MacPorts base version 1.520 installed Downloaded MacPorts base version 1.520 The MacPorts installation is not outdated and so was not updated selfupdate done! mac 3 # sudo port sync mac 4 # sudo port outdated No installed ports are outdated.

I wonder why the symlink isn't there. Is it listed in the port's contents? (port contents mysql5) By the way, "selfupdate" already includes "sync" so you do not need to "sync" manually if you already used "selfupdate". Please remember to Reply To All so that your response goes to the list too, not just to me.
