Re: updating a very old Macports install

Ok... I succumbed, I went to /opt/local and did an rm -rf * and reinstalled the Macports package for Yosemite... no issues... I learned something for years I have always used the trunk, now I know why I have had to troubleshoot port builds from time to time and massage them into installing. I

configuring phpmyadmin: why no table mysql.host for mysql56?

I have a newly installed working installation of mysql56-server and mysql56 from MacPorts. I already had a working apache2 and php56 with apache2 support. Next I installed phpmyadmin @4.3.9_0+php56 and have a suitable config.inc.php so that under apache2 I can run phpmyadmin in Safari. I'm now

Re: can't start mysql56 after move datadir

Thanks to repeated help from Ryan Schmidt and Brandon Allbery, I finally was able to get mysql56 to work with a non-default datadir location. Here's what I did: 0. Uninstalled the macports mysql56-server and deleted both /opt/local/var/db/mysql56 and /Volumes/MacHD/Users/thisuser/Databases/

ACLs are not "common knowledge" -- Apple probably uses them more than any other vendor. While ACLs (Access Control Lists) provide much finer-grained security than the old User/Group/Other (or Owner/Group/World depending on your background) technique, they take a great deal more THOUGHT and UNDE

Or, since I'm dealing with directories in the path leading to the mysql matador, should those chmod commands be the following? chmod +a "_mysql allow search" [dir_name] (I find it strange that while searching on-line for how to use a non-default location for the mysql datadir, none of them
