mysql56-server @5.6.24_0 Documentation Issue

[gwong@…]

Prior to "sudo -u _mysql mysql_install_db" there needs to be:

chown -R _mysql:_mysql /opt/local/etc/mysql56/

This may be only applicable to Yosemite (I'm on v10.10.3) but it already noted in another ticket, #44978, and at ​http://serverfault.com/questions/543725/cant-start-mysql-5-6-installed-via-macports-on-os-x-10-8-5-new-install-errno .

  WARNING: Could not write to config file /opt/local/etc/mysql56/my-new.cnf: Permission denied

This is the warning you get as part of the port install, but then you run into ERROR when running "sudo -u _mysql mysql_install_db"

As more and more users are on Yosemite, this may become more important. Thanks! Gary

Prior to "sudo -u _mysql mysql_install_db" there needs to be:

chown -R _mysql:_mysql /opt/local/etc/mysql56/

That should not be necessary. The mysql56-server port already creates that directory with the correct ownership. The only reason that should be necessary is if you had created the directory manually with the wrong ownership before installing the port.
