Port Up=0A=0AFirst up, thank you very much for your detailed analysis and c=
omments. Concerning rebuilding the ports, I don't believe this is necessary=
 because I have the exact same problems on my home server, and I never dele=
ted the /usr/local/include dir on my home server.=0A=0A>So chown mysql:mysq=
l /etc/my.cnf && chmod 600 /etc/my.cnf.=0A=0AOkay, I did that.=0A=0A=0A>You=
're missing a ton of necessary tables in /var/db/mysql/mysql, which=0A>are =
all required for MySQL to run.  Authentication tables, host access=0A>table=

ecessary=0A>tables exist).  The script that creates all the necessary table=
s is=0A>/usr/local/bin/mysql_install_db and it comes from the MySQL guys.  =
