You say too little about your system to allow proper help. How did you install MySQL? Fro the source? From the ports? From package? If you installed MySQL through FreeBSD mechanism, it should be started with the comand: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql.sh start provided you have put mysql_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf Else youmust locate your MySQL log file and see why it is not starting, if it is failingbecause of some error. mysqladmin is a command to MySQL database server, so it suppose that MySQL is running beforeyou can issue any mysqladmin command. Bests, Olivier
