Comment(by knightcode1@…):

 Hi,

 I first installed 'mysql' and then realized I really wanted mysql-server,
 which I installed after. Right now /opt/local/var/db/mysql5 has
 permissions 755 with user '_mysql' and group 'admin'.

 I also downloaded the binary mysql package from mysql.com. I have its
 server up and running, but I had to run it from my user account and change
 the ownership of its 'data'  directory accordingly. Maybe there's
 something I'm just not understanding about how to set this up with another
 user account. Should I just create another account in the System
 Preferences?
