Ryan,
Thanks very much for responding. I followed your directions but I can't decide
if the server is running or not, and I have been using recommended commands
from the online mysql manual.
Also:
1. I ran mysql_install_db, and I received the following:
"DAVID:~ davidgentry$ /opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/mysql_install_db ; exit;
FATAL ERROR: Could not find mysqld
The following directories were searched:
/usr/local/mysql-5.5.6-rc-osx10.6-x86_64/libexec
/usr/local/mysql-5.5.6-rc-osx10.6-x86_64/sbin
/usr/local/mysql-5.5.6-rc-osx10.6-x86_64/bin
If you compiled from source, you need to run 'make install' to
copy the software into the correct location ready for operation.
If you are using a binary release, you must either be at the top
level of the extracted archive, or pass the --basedir option
pointing to that location.
logout"
Note: I installed from a downloaded dmg file. I am going to look at the online
mysql manual. I think I read somewhere that I can provide a path to mysqld.
Do you have any advice? What does this part of the above message mean to me:
"If you compiled from source, you need to run 'make install' to copy the
software into the correct location ready for operation."?
2. I used my iMac's Network Utility to do a port scan after installing mysql5
and mysql5.server, and the port scan for 127.0.0.1 and for localhost did not
reveal port 3306. Using my Terminal, I determined that mysql5 and
mysql5.server are both active. Help! Could this problem be related to number
1 above?

The message in the attached screenshot reads "Error: Target org.macports.load
returned: org.macports.mysql5: Already loaded". So there is no error, the
mysql5-server plist is already loaded and the server should already be running.
If you want to restart the mysqld server, you can "sudo port unload
mysql5-server" and then, after a few moments, "sudo port load mysql5-server"
again.
In the future, please just supply the text of the error messages, not an image
of them.
