Fwd: FATAL ERROR: Could not find mysqld & Missing Port 3306

Wed Jan 12 08:06:39 PST 2011

Ryan,

You offered to compare your /opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/mysql_install_db script to mine to possibly help determine where my FATAL ERROR is coming from.  My script is in the email below.  

I really appreciate your help.

David

Ryan, here is the script of my /opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/mysql_install_db:

usage()
{
 cat <<EOF
Usage: $0 [OPTIONS]
 --basedir=path       The path to the MySQL installation directory.
 --builddir=path      If using --srcdir with out-of-directory builds, you
                      will need to set this to the location of the build
                      directory where built files reside.
 --cross-bootstrap    For internal use.  Used when building the MySQL system
                      tables on a different host than the target.
 --datadir=path       The path to the MySQL data directory.
 --force              Causes mysql_install_db to run even if DNS does not
                      work.  In that case, grant table entries that normally
                      use hostnames will use IP addresses.
 --ldata=path         The path to the MySQL data directory. Same as --datadir.
 --rpm                For internal use.  This option is used by RPM files
                      during the MySQL installation process.
 --skip-name-resolve  Use IP addresses rather than hostnames when creating
                      grant table entries.  This option can be useful if
                      your DNS does not work.
 --srcdir=path        The path to the MySQL source directory.  This option
                      uses the compiled binaries and support files within the
                      source tree, useful for if you don't want to install
                      MySQL yet and just want to create the system tables.
 --user=user_name     The login username to use for running mysqld.  Files
                      and directories created by mysqld will be owned by this
                      user.  You must be root to use this option.  By default
                      mysqld runs using your current login name and files and
                      directories that it creates will be owned by you.

All other options are passed to the mysqld program

> Your guess makes sense to me: the FATAL ERROR came from script that I did not successfully uninstall.  I ran "which mysql_install_db5" and the response was "/opt/local/bin/mysql_install_db5."  The file and a lot of other mysql files were in that directory and they were alias files.  I sent all of them to trash.

Those symlinks were put there by MacPorts and they belonged there; you should not have trashed them. Now we need to put them back. The easiest way is to deactivate and reactivate mysql5.

sudo port -f deactivate mysql5
sudo port activate mysql5

Before you trash something that might have been installed by MacPorts, you can use the "port provides" command; if it says the file was provided by a port, then you probably don't want to remove or change it.

For example on my system:

$ port provides /opt/local/bin/mysql_install_db5 
/opt/local/bin/mysql_install_db5 is provided by: mysql5

So back to the fatal error problem. We have the discrepancy that, on the one hand, you're following the MAMP instructions in the wiki, which say to run mysql_install_db5, which you show is provided by MacPorts and if you remove the file provided by MacPorts then it clearly fails to find the command anymore, which demonstrates there is no other command around with the same name that's interfering. But on the other hand, when you run mysql_install_db5, it says it's searching for files in directories inside /usr/local that MacPorts isn't supposed to know anything about, and which indeed you say you've already deleted.

Perhaps you could send me your /opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/mysql_install_db script; I can compare it with mine and make sure we're using the same program. Reading through the script, I don't see off hand how it could be finding those paths in /usr/local.
