I am glad I signed up for this email list last week because one post made me
think that maybe I am not crazy. The post said that a port disappeared.
Well, I have had 3 ports disappear.
Here is the sequence of events:
1. Last week, I installed Macports.
2. Per the documentation, I ran port
Dear Ryan Schmidt, John B Brown, and Rainer Muller,
Thank you all so much. I used Disk Utility to verify and then repair
permissions. Then I executed sudo port install apache2. I got sudo:
/var/db/sudo writable by non-owner (040775), should be mode 0700. After
several tries, I corrected
Port 8500 is used by Adobe ColdFusion for its embedded server. Since I plan to
use ColdFusion, I guess I will need port 8500, but I don't know for sure yet.

Ryan,
Thanks very much for responding. I followed your directions but I can't decide
if the server is running or not, and I have been using recommended commands
from the online mysql manual.
Also:
1. I ran mysql_install_db, and I received the following:
DAVID:~ davidgentry$
FATAL ERROR: Could not find mysqld
I removed a version of mysql from my iMac, and I installed the latest community
version. As a recommended post-installation task, I ran mysql_install_db.
Here is the command and the response:
command: /opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/mysql_install_db ;
response:
Roger and wilco. (I'm a pilot. Wilco means will comply.) Thanks.

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.

I am using the MAMP#mysql wiki.
I am working on Set up the main database. For quite some time, I could not
get past FATAL ERROR: Could not find mysql_install_db.
This command got me past that error message: sudo mysql_install_db5
--basedir=/opt/local/bin, but it gave me the following
a query to the MacPorts address list?

3. Again, install the mysql and mysql-server ports.
4. Return to the wiki to set up a main database, etc.

It's not really clear what leads you to suspect corruption in the first

Thank you very much for trying to help. I am responding to your message:

I don't think the macports version would search those directories?

Thank you for taking the time to do research and to provide advice. I am sort
of glad the answer is not evident to you after your research. Maybe I am not
insane. I have read the same documentation you have in the reference manual
