I never even set a password for mysql.
It's not a good reason to not set anymore a password in future. The output is from a misconfiguration rather than a macports issue, did you follow the port setup instructions that were printed after installing the (supposed) mysql-server port? > I've installed and used mysql before with no problems, should I switch back > to postgresql? This sentence would make more sense if postgresql would have been used both time, anyway it's up to you to choose the dbms you're more confident with. -- Andrea _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
