Have you bothered to place the proper directive in the '/etc/rc,conf' file; i.e., MYSQL_ENABLE=yes Otherwise, if you want to start it from the command line sans that statement, you will have to use: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server force Check out the mysql script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d for further details. -- Gerard My mother loved children -- she would have given anything if I had been one.
