I need to have two versions of MySql running. One is the binary MySql
from MySql and the other is the Macports version. Manually, using the
command
sudo -b /opt/local/bin/mysqld_safe5 --port=3307
I can start the (MacPorts) MySql on port 3307 and simultaneously run the
(MySql) MySql (which is in /usr/local/mysql). Everything seems to work
fine. Now here are the problems that I need help solving:
1. How do I configure the launchd or org.macports.mysql5.plist files so
that the port 3307 is chosen when mysql starts automatically at
startup? The problem seems to be passing --port=3307 to the
mysql.server program doesn't work.
2. How can I install MySql using MacPorts so that port 3307 is set as
the default port for the MacPorts installation?
Many thanks in advance!
Sincerely,
Tom Hagedorn
