Hi there, You can install this with ease using the FreeBSD ports tree. Simply cd into /usr/ports/databases/mysql323-server and type "make install" that'll install it all for you... :) Good luck. You'll need to consult the MySQL documentation for information on adding/creating databases etc, but this will install the actual server binaries etc for you. - Marc On Mon, Jul 22, 2002 at 11:28:37AM -0400, MET wrote: > I was wondering if someone could be so kind as to write up directions > for installing MySQL that makes sense.
