In portint to freebsd, your doc says you moved the following directories: Documentation states: Port uses: ===================== ========================== /usr/local/Hughes /usr/local /usr/local/Hughes/msqldb /var/db/msqldb /usr/local/Hughes/msql2.sock /usr/local/etc/msql2/msql2.sock /usr/local/Hughes/msql2.pid /usr/local/etc/msql2/msql2.pid /usr/local/Hughes/msql.conf /usr/local/etc/msql2/msql.conf /usr/local/Hughes/msql.acl /usr/local/etc/msql2/msql.acl It is reasonably important to be able to change locations of a datbase file, and /var seems to me to be a poor choice for a database file given its size may grow far beyond a normal var partition. If the pre-ported version allowed the "dbhome" to be changed via install dir and the db location changed with it, that is desireable to the current location. I'm interested in why you picked /var? If there is a param in the conf file for db file location, please let me know what it is. Otherwise, may I suggest one? thanks.
