Not directly, but when I find myself in this pickle, I try to see what exactly is the process doing: $ ktrace /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh start ( wait for it to finish ) kdump -f ./ktrace.out | less and look for any errors / etc, and take it from there. you'll be able to see any access errors / file not found,etc (i'd say it's a missing directory or wrong access in a directory for mysql user) good luck.
