#13705 closed enhancement (fixed)
mysql5 should use _mysql user in Leopard

Description
Leopard changed some things, notably all daemon user now start with an underscore, such as _mysql, _www, _svn, etc. This ended up breaking my mysql5 installation (I did an upgrade, rather than a clean and restore). For this reason mysql5 probably needs to be modified to support this new convention.

Hi! I've got the same problem and i can't find anything about it in google. Could you tell me, please, in few words how to solve it before this ticket will be closed? Thank you.

Ah! Sorry for troubling. This helped me:
# chown -R _mysql /opt/local/var/run/mysql5/

Has duplicate #22472. I didn't realize this was actually causing problems -- in my testing, asking for user "mysql" on Leopard or Snow Leopard transparently became user "_mysql" so there was no problem.

I apologize that I didn't see that this was a duplicate. Yes, this caused issues, at least on 10.6.2. The directories were not getting the right permissions and thus the daemon was failing to start.

Should be fixed by r60468.
It seems that Tabitha predicts the future. :) (She suggested four months ago that MacPorts should make its own user account for the mysql5 portfile instead of using the system mysql account, in case Apple ever changed the system account -- which, much to my surprise, they've now done.)
