     Type:  defect              |     Status:  new
 Priority:  High                |  Milestone:
Component:  ports               |    Version:  2.3.4
 Keywords:  mysql 5.7 socket    |       Port:  mysql57, mysql57-server
--------------------------------+-------------------------------------
 even though ticket 49634  is marked as closed, support for a proper port
 for mysql does not seem to be completed.

 There exists mysql57 and mysql57-server ports but a socket for mysql57
 does not seem to exist.  Also, the how to page for installing mysql
 (https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/MySQL) stops at mysql 56.


 {{{
 sudo bin/mysql -u root -p
 ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
 '/opt/local/var/run/mysql57/mysqld.sock' (2)

 }}}


 Can we have this updated please?
