Hey guys, I havent been here for a while but now I need some wisdom from you all;-) I am setting up a new server under Mac OS X 10.11.3 (15D21) I need the following tools to be installed on this server:

Macports
perl5.8
mod_perl2
p5-cgi
p5-libwww-perl
p5-perlmagick
ImageMagick
p5-html-parser
p5-mail-sendmail


mysql5
mysql5-server
p5-dbi
p5-dbd-mysql ***


Now here is what is happening; Everything goes well up to installing the last module "p5-dbd-mysql". Before installing this module perl is running with all its modules and Mysql is up and running and I can access the databases with Navicat. If I install the last module "p5-dbd-mysql" I can also read and write the databases from my websites. All looks good... But When I restart the server my mysql will not load anymore with the message "ERROR! The server quit without updating PID file".

I need to uninstall all mysql modules and reinstall them to get the configuration working again. I also tried changing the installation order of the modules without success. I understand that the module "p5-dbd-mysql" is installing its own mysql and I think this is causing a clash. I am looking for a dbd module that does not install mysql but the core dbd.

I am really stuck here and need the server up and running soon.

Thank you in advance,

Ton
