But, I don’t understand the consequences. Is the port select problem fatal, or can I go ahead and try to use MySQL?
Background: I originally installed the System Preferences version of MySQL years ago in order to set up an XBMC media library. I stopped using XBMC and didn’t give MySQL another thought. Just the other day I was diagnosing another problem when I noticed that there was an entry every ten seconds in the System Log saying that launchd had tried and failed to run mysqld. As a result, the mysql.err file had grown to over 11 GB and had over 150 million lines of error messages. The fatal error seemed to be: 2019-07-20 01:09:54 16104 [ERROR] Can't open the mysql.plugin table. Please run mysql_upgrade to create it. I tried to do that, but it didn’t work. So, I decided to completely delete MySQL and reinstall the MacPorts version. Perhaps that was a bad idea.
