Hi John, If I'm having problems with an rc.d script, I'll invoke it with shell verbosity turned on so I can see exactly what commands are executing. You might try that if the other posted suggestions don't fix the problem. Invoke the script like this: sh -x /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysqlserver start Hope that helps, Greg - -- Greg Larkin http://www.FreeBSD.org/ - The Power To Serve http://www.sourcehosting.net/ - Ready.
