Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 Replying to [comment:3 Dormilich@…]:
 > up to now I didn't need to, though the new version was only available
 after a reboot.
 You should probably always stop (i.e. port unload) an old version of any
 server installed by MacPorts before starting (i.e. port load) the new
 version.

 > that info should make it into the MAMP Howto …
 Feel free to edit [wiki:howto/MAMP the MAMP how-to]; anybody can edit the
 wiki. It currently mentions the longer form "sudo launchctl load -w
 /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5.plist"; "sudo port load
 mysql5-server" is simply a shorter form of that same command.

 Of course, those launchctl commands and their "port load" and "port
 unload" equivalents apply to all MacPorts server ports, not just apache2
 and mysql5.

 > the LaunchDaemon (/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5.plist) is a
 symlink to the plist somewhere in the Macports directory (autostart).
 anyways, installing mysql5-server creates that.
 Yes, the symlink and the thing it points to were moved from the +server
 variant of the mysql5 port to the new mysql5-server port, as had been long
 requested; see #12313.

 Ah yes. No, I would not expect a backup of a socket file to be much use.

 > "/opt/local/bin/mysql not found" (something along that line)
 Indeed, that's the purpose of deactivating a port -- to remove its files
 from their places within /opt/local. :)
