mysql_install

[Greg Magnusson]

re:  ports system

Correct, I have not installed mysql from the FreeBSD ports 
system.  Currently, I am attempting to use a download from the mysql.org 
site that can be burned to a disk.

http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-3.23.html

I just noticed that version 4 is stable now, so I am going to try the new one.

http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-4.0.html

   My current intention is to create a simplified installation procedure 
for FreeBSD - MySQL - Apache and PHP.  I have attempted 42 installations to 
date without success.  I have had FreeBSD and Apache working, but I have 
yet to have MySQL working standalone.....
   Is there a port that installs Apache-PHP and MySQL?
   Is there an easy way to install the above system with libmcrypt, open + 
mod_ssl?
   I have been using the pkg_add system for other applications, and it is a 
nice system.  What I have been dreaming about is a simplified system of 
installing a FreeBSD-Apache-PHP-MySQL server.  If this port exists, please 
advise.  I am ready to hear about an easy way of doing this.

I choose user id 888.  You have made me think that I could use a separate 
group.  Currently my machine has only one group...default group of #14 I 
believe.
