It was missing in the pst note the following : 1. when installing mysql with the regular command : sudo /opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/mysql_install_db --user=mysql do you guys create the mysql id ? or it needs to be created before that ... ?
2. my sql id ships already in the OS ? I think not, right ? 3. do I need to add the user manually like in linux OS or should I use dscl application for it ? 4. I have also installed postgres in my mac : postgresql83 @8.3.16_0 (active) postgresql83-server @8.3.16_0 (active) postgresql90 @9.0.5_1 (active) postgresql90-server @9.0.5_0 (active) postgresql91 @9.1.1_1 (active 5. But I created a postgres id with dscl as follows : ericomtx$ sudo dscl . -create /Users/postgres ericomtx$ sudo dscl . -create /Users/postgres UserShell /bin/bash ericomtx$ dscl . -create /Users/postgres RealName "postgres 831" ericomtx$ sudo dscl . -create /Users/postgres RealName "postgres 831" ericomtx$ sudo dscl . -create /Users/postgres UniqueID 8005 ericomtx$ sudo dscl . -create /Users/postgres NFSHomeDirectory /Users/postgres ericomtx$ sudo dscl . -passwd /Users/postgres xxxx ericomtx$ sudo dscl . -create /Users/postgres PrimaryGroupID 20 Was that necessary ? or when installing postgres mcaports also installs a postgres id ? 6. postgres id ... I can see it using dscl tool : $ dscl . list /groups .... owner postgres procmod procview .... 7. and using : $ dscl . list /users I get : .... macports mysql nobody postgres .... 8. back to mysql ... I have uninstalled mysql from my mac : bash-3.2# port uninstall mysql5-server @5.1.60_0 bash-3.2# port uninstall mysql5 @5.1.60_0 bash-3.2# port clean --all mysql5-server @5.1.60_0 bash-3.2# port clean --all mysql5 @5.1.60_0 I can see _mysql id is still in /etc/group file : _mysql:*:74: but it is not in /etc/passwd .... How can I fix my environment ?
