Start it, and this message will go away. If the port/package is correctly installed, then $ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh start as root should do the trick. To have mysql-server start automagically, add: mysql_enable="YES" to the file /etc/rc.conf BTW, shouldn't there be a space between the "-u" and the "root" ? Probably just a c-n-p error.
