I have some trouble with the LaunchDaemons of Apache2 and Mysql5.
I did install Apache2, PHP5 and Mysql5 using macports (newest version)
on a PPC-MacMini:
sudo port sync
sudo port install apache2
sudo port install mysql5 +server
sudo port install php5 +apache2 +mysql5 +pear
then I did:
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/
org.macports.apache2.plist
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/
org.macports.mysql5.plist
After that both mysql5 and apache2 started on boot or reboot. So the
macports standard installation works fine.
In a further step I copied (using rsync) the directories
/opt/local/apache2/htdocs and /opt/local/var/db/mysql5 to another
partition of my harddrive.
And of course modified the config files properly.
After theses steps both LaunchDaemons dosen't work anymore. But I can
start both applications on the command line (mysqld_safe, apachectl)
using the non standard configuration.
Further I tried to start mysql using the wrapper script:
sudo /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5/
mysql5.wrapper start
an got the message
Starting MySQL ERROR! Couldn't find MySQL manager or server.
(Is there a mysql error_log file? I couln't find any!)
In case of apache2 I can start an stop apache2 using the wrapper
script
on the command line:
sudo /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.apache2/
apache2.wrapper start
sudo /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.apache2/
apache2.wrapper stop
but it does not work on boot time (the apache2 error_log shows a
sigterm
shutting down entry)
When I go back to the macports standard installation everthing
works fine.
You did not specify how you "modified the config files properly."
Here's how I did it:
I am using mysql5 with the databases stored elsewhere. To set this
up, I have a file /opt/local/etc/mysql5/my.cnf which contains this:
[mysqld]
skip-networking
pid-file=/opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.pid
log-error=/opt/local/var/log/mysql5/mysqld.err
log-slow-queries=/opt/local/var/log/mysql5/slow_queries.log
datadir=/Users/rschmidt/mysql/data
bind-address=127.0.0.1
lower_case_table_names=2
old_passwords=1
default-table-type=InnoDB
query_cache_size=32M
So I have set it up to find the databases in my home directory, and I
have told it where to write its log files. Since I only connect to
the server from this same machine, I turn off networking support both
to save memory and for security. Lowercase table names 2 is
recommended for Mac OS X and other systems with case-insensitive
filesystems. Old passwords were needed by me at some point because I
was still using older MySQL client libraries but I should probably
remove that now. I like new tables to be InnoDB, and apparently I
wanted to set the query cache size for some reason.
I did not move /opt/local/var/db/mysql5; instead, I just set up a new
directory for the databases elsewhere.
As to Apache, you have to inform it about each directory which you
want it to be able to serve. I did not move /opt/local/apache2/htdocs
anywhere, since it does not contain anything I care about. I just set
up a new directory /web/ and told Apache about it, like this:
<Directory /web>
# Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
# or any combination of:
# Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI
MultiViews
# Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
I'm not sure why I have the Options directive commented out there.
The Apache error log should contain useful information if Apache
won't start. By default it's located at /opt/local/apache2/logs/
error_log though you can change it with the Error_Log directive in
the config file if you want.
