Add mysql_enable="YES" to your /etc/rc.conf file, and use the /usr/
local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server script to start the process as follows:
% su root
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server start

Hi
I have been trying to get mysql running for the past two days
without luck.
I added these two packages using sysinstall from FTP.
mysql-client-4.0.26_1 Multithreaded SQL database (client)
mysql-server-4.0.26_2 Multithreaded SQL database (server)
I went to the folder /usr/ports/databases/mysql40-server/ and did a
make
clean install.
Then I created the file /etc/my.cnf like
fr# more my.cnf
[mysqld]
datadir=/usr/local/mysql/data
socket=/tmp/mysql.sock
[mysql.server]
user=mysql
basedir=/usr/local/bin/mysql
I got stuck at this point. I have been reading online without luck.
I do not
even know how to start mysql.
I hope you guys can point in the right directions.
Thanks in advance.
