Ryan, You offered to compare your /opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/mysql_install_db script to mine to possibly help determine where my FATAL ERROR is coming from. My script is in the email below.
I really appreciate your help.

Used when building the MySQL system tables on a different host than the target. --datadir=path The path to the MySQL data directory. --force Causes mysql_install_db to run even if DNS does not work.

The easiest way is to deactivate and reactivate mysql5. sudo port -f deactivate mysql5 sudo port activate mysql5 Before you trash something that might have been installed by MacPorts, you can use the "port provides" command; if it says the file was provided by a port, then you probably don't want to remove or change it. For example on my system: $ port provides /opt/local/bin/mysql_install_db5 /opt/local/bin/mysql_install_db5 is provided by: mysql5 So back to the fatal error problem. We have the discrepancy that, on the one hand, you're following the MAMP instructions in the wiki, which say to run mysql_install_db5, which you show is provided by MacPorts and if you remove the file provided by MacPorts then it clearly fails to find the command anymore, which demonstrates there is no other command around with the same name that's interfering. But on the other hand, when you run mysql_install_db5, it says it's searching for files in directories inside /usr/local that MacPorts isn't supposed to know anything about, and which indeed you say you've already deleted. Perhaps you could send me your /opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/mysql_install_db script; I can compare it with mine and make sure we're using the same program. Reading through the script, I don't see off hand how it could be finding those paths in /usr/local. David J.
