[MacPorts] #61267: Error in mysqld_safe from mysql8-server

[Herby G]

Hello Murray,

Instructions for setting up mysql8-server after installation with MacPorts
are shown in the console right after installation.

You can review these using 'port notes':

$ port notes mysql8-server

Then you would start the mysql8-server service using 'port load':

$ sudo port load mysql8-server

To stop and disable the service, use 'port unload':

$ sudo port unload mysql8-server
