Hi all.

Let me clarify my subject line. I *think* I actually got all the 
'MySQL5 +server' files installed correctly using Darwin Ports. The 
problem is that I am not able to start my server. I think that 
'my.cnf' may also be incorrect. Here's what's happening...

----- When I try to start the server -----------
[Claire:share/mysql5/mysql] chimi% sudo /opt/local/share/
mysql5/mysql/mysql.server start
Password:
/opt/local/share/mysql5/mysql/mysql.server: line 234: cd: /opt/
local/libexec/mysqld: No such file or directory
Starting MySQL ERROR! Couldn't find MySQL manager or server
[Claire:share/mysql5/mysql] chimi%

------------ my.cnf -----------
[mysqld]
datadir=/opt/local/var/db/mysql5
socket=/tmp/mysql.sock
port=3306

[mysql.server]
user=mysql
basedir=/opt/local/libexec/mysqld

[client]
socket=/opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/mysql
--------------------------------

• First of all, I check to see if 'mysqld' existed in /opt/local/
libexec/ and it does, so I don't know why it can't find it. Any ideas?
• Second what is wrong with my.cnf?

I have searched the MySQL installation stuff and have not found 
anything that's useful. I have also searched archives on Darwin 
Ports and found some similar problems, but nothing that 
completely helps!

Sorry for my *newbness*! Please help me! =D
