Ryan, You suggested that I might have a rogue my.cnf file somewhere. I can find only one my.cnf on my Mac. The Finder says it is a Plain text file, and I opened it with TextEdit: # /etc/mysql/my.cnf: The global mysql configuration file. # This file can be simultaneously placed in three

I understand. Moving files around in other applications has not worked for me either. I was just experimenting with the MacPorts files, and I did learn some important things, such as basedir and srcdir which the MySQL 5.1 Reference Manual says are sometimes necessary to set up the main

Ryan, I did not mean to imply that the MacPorts file, mysqld, is corrupt. Somehow it is getting corrupted on my system, and I intend to find out how. I did not know that every system will treat mysqld differently. That is good to know. However, that information just adds to the mystery.
