I have tried to install 4.1 server and 5.0 server. Both error out durin= g the build. I try to restart the install and it installs, but then will no= t start because /var/log/mysql directory does not exist. I create the direc= tory and try to restart, to no avail. Is there a version of My= sql that can be installed with out errors? Are there steps that am mi= ssing to make this run? I have installed Mysql from ports before with no er= rors, so this is new. Thanks in advance, Ron C Fr= eeBSD 5.5-STABLE #0: Tue Aug 1 17:59:18 CDT 2006 [DEL: :DEL] =
