MySQL is started when I boot up. Since this machine is also used as a
web server, it is virtually never down. MySQL is up and running
correctly at present.

I chose not to use the running version of MySQL since the Akonadi
server was having all sorts of problems accessing it. A snippet follows.

*******************************************************************

Test 3:  SUCCESS
--------

MySQL server is executable.
Details: MySQL server found:
cat: /var/db/mysql/scorpio.seibercom.net.pid: Permission denied
rm: /var/db/mysql/scorpio.seibercom.net.pid: Permission denied 100520
05:45:56 mysqld_safe Fatal error: Can't remove the pid
file: /var/db/mysql/scorpio.seibercom.net.pid Please remove it manually
and start /usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe again; mysqld daemon not started
/usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe: cannot
create /var/db/mysql/scorpio.seibercom.net.err: Permission denied
100520 05:45:56 mysqld_safe Logging to
'/var/db/mysql/scorpio.seibercom.net.err'.


*******************************************************************
Is there some special configuration I have to setup on MySQL in order
to get the server to work with it? I placed all of the pertinent
information requested when I configured it; or at least I thought so.
