Comment(by samii@…):

 Well, I've uninstalled everything and right now, I am in the process of
 reinstalling. mysql5-server is installing now.

 I am following the howto here on MacPorts. Just to be sure, because I
 believe that my errors result from my last attempted install.

 Once mysql5-server is installed, I need to set up the main database and
 then start mysql5-server. There are two ways of setting up the main
 database as per the howto. Which would you recommend?

 Likewise, I believe I had problems with setting the password last time.
 What output should I expect when I set up the password, and what should be
 a red flag that something is broken?

 Also, should I run the optional security configuration?
