Note read all of this before doing any of it! and read the mysql install guide on their site, i suspect you might not have, but then again i just started with bsd about a month ago...
did you use portinstall or did you do pkg_add or did you build from /usr/ports/databases/mysql-client & server? i would try doing a uninstall of mysql then build the client portion and then the server portion, i have some docs on what i did at work, but i am off this wk so let me know if you still have any problems. i had some issues w/ portinstall and pkg_add, so thats why i ask. rough instructions: (some of the paths maybe a little off this is from memory) use mysql 5.1 if your ports tree is up to date if not, update it! and do the uninstall portion in which ever version you have installed! 1) cd into /usr/ports/databases/mysql*-server do a # make deinstall hopefully this will start the installation of mysql 2) after its all done a) cd into mysql*-client and do a # make install clean b) once its don cd into mysql*-server and do another # make install clean 3) you might also want to check out mysql install guide on their site, it has a lot of good info, as if i remember correctly you will run into some other install related steps lie creating the initial table structure etc... which might also be the reason you are having the problem you are currently having! by the way it seems like its a permission issue for the mysql user thats why i am suggesting a reinstall... -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=10558#10558 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
