Comment(by ryandesign@…):
Replying to [comment:3 Dormilich@…]:

after a reboot.
You should probably always stop (i.e. port unload) an old version of any
server installed by MacPorts before starting (i.e. port load) the new
version.
> that info should make it into the MAMP Howto …
Feel free to edit [wiki:howto/MAMP the MAMP how-to]; anybody can edit the
wiki. It currently mentions the longer form "sudo launchctl load -w
/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5.plist"; "sudo port load
mysql5-server" is simply a shorter form of that same command.
Of course, those launchctl commands and their "port load" and "port
unload" equivalents apply to all MacPorts server ports, not just apache2
and mysql5.
> the LaunchDaemon (/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5.plist) is a
symlink to the plist somewhere in the Macports directory (autostart).
anyways, installing mysql5-server creates that.
Yes, the symlink and the thing it points to were moved from the +server
variant of the mysql5 port to the new mysql5-server port, as had been long
requested; see #12313.

Ah yes. No, I would not expect a backup of a socket file to be much use.

Indeed, that's the purpose of deactivating a port -- to remove its files
from their places within /opt/local. :)
