mysql56-server: cannot load due to lack of LaunchDaemon

[lpsinger (Leo Singer)]

Loading mysql56-server fails because the startup item does not exist:

$ sudo port load mysql56-server
Password:
Error: org.macports.load for port mysql56-server returned: Launchd plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql56-server.plist was not found
Please see the log file for port mysql56-server for details:

This is on Yosemite.

Is the mysql56-server port active?

sudo port activate mysql56-server

[lpsinger (Leo Singer)]

Yes.

I have the same problem. It turned out to be because I had installed the port "mysql56" but not "mysql56-server"!

Can't think of any reason other than that why this wouldn't work.
