I asked about mysql.server because that's what is described in Step 3 of "Install and configure MySQL" at http://muddledramblings.com/rumblings-from-the-secret-labs/lamp-server-from-scratch-with-macports/. In fact, the procedure there is to create an alias for invoking that script. Perhaps my confusion involves the difference between loading mysql for use within apache with php, on the one hand, and just starting mysql for more direct or non-browser access. --- Murray Eisenberg murrayeisenb...@gmail.com 80 Fearing Street phone 413 549-1020 (H) Amherst, MA 01002-1912 _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
