In any case, delete the folder and it contents. While you are at it, delete the files in "/usr/ports/distfiles" also. Update the ports tree, and cd to the version of mysql you want to install. Run "make config" to insure it is configured correctly. Run; make install && make clean Make sure that the correct entry is in the "/etc/rc.conf" file to enable MySQL to start on boot. I think it is: mysql_enable="YES". Either reboot or cd to the "/usr/local/etc/rc.d" directory and run the mysql startup script. I believe "./mysql" is correct. This should create all of the necessary files and directories you need to initialise MySQL. -- Jerry ges...@yahoo.com _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
