 Following instructions from http://homepage.mac.com/duling/halfdozen/NeDi-
 Howto.html. Other posts said '+server' is deprecated, so used install
 command:

 {{{
 %% sudo port install mysql5 -server
 }}}

 No errors reported on port install. Next command:

 {{{
 %% sudo -u mysql mysql_install_db5
 }}}

 Errors because log and run directories failed to create in opt/local/var/
 on port install. Found instructions to manually create directories and set
 permissions. So can proceed.

 Later this command fails:

 {{{
 %% sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5.plist
 }}}

 Because org.macports.mysql5.plist is also missing from port install. Found
 post that ties issue to install of deprecated port mysql5 +server, but not
 the case here.
