Last I checked, the MySQL port/package put its databases in /var/db/mysql. Is /var part of your / partition? What about /tmp? I believe MySQL needs to create a /tmp/mysql.sock file when it starts. Have you checked to see what errors MySQL reports when it fails to start? -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
