Installing mysql5 on a mac with MacPorts

Many of you (like me) have been looking through the different blogs trying to set up mysql with macports with this command

sudo port install mysql5 +server 

The problem is, that command is no longer used anymore. Read this post http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1081231/macports-doesnt-install-org-macports-mysql5-plist-with-mysql5-server

It's changed to sudo port install mysql5-server

I hope this helps someone. I know it helped me. Also, they apparently have updated things like automatic symbolic links and stuff
