Hello all, I've been scanning these mail lists for a solution and have tried many things, but am still not able to start the MySQL 5.0 database on my FreeBSD 5.4 server. I've been working on this for two days and have never had so many problems getting a database to start. The first thing I did after installation was copy the /support-files/my- medium.cnf to /etc/my.cnf and enter the appropriate information. I also created a "dummy" /tmp/mysql.sock file and configured permissions. I try starting the server as user "mysql" and it fails. Trying to su or login as mysql fails with a 'miscofiguration' error. All this has happened after I've deinstalled and cleaned two previous installations. This is getting to be much more work than it should be. Can anyone help? It would certainly be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
