mysql5 does not run

[bpabbott@…]

I'm having trouble running mysql5. With Lion, I was successful following the instructions at the link below.

​https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/MAMP#mysql

I've recently upgraded to Mavericks and returned to these same instructions.

sudo port install mysql5-server

sudo -u mysql mysql_install_db5 
sudo chown -R mysql:mysql /opt/local/var/db/mysql5/ 
sudo chown -R mysql:mysql /opt/local/var/run/mysql5/ 

The directory /opt/local/var/log/mysql5 did not exist, so I created it and changed the permissions.

sudo mkdir -p /opt/local/var/log/mysql5
sudo chown -R mysql:mysql /opt/local/var/log/mysql5/ 

Next I activated my MySQL server.

sudo port load mysql5-server

Which returned the error below.

Error: org.macports.load for port mysql5-server returned: Launchd plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5.plist was not found

The log contains a bit more info.
