Have you read the freebsd platform notes and the post-install instructions ? If not, I'd suggest starting there. If that doesn't help, write back with some more details, such as: Is this your first attempt to start the server after install? When you say, "the binary freebsd package," which do you mean, one of the two from mysql.com, or the packages from freebsd.org? You mention configuration. What, if any, configuration have you done? (Mysql ought to start fine with default settings.) Michael Ricardo David Martins wrote: > Hi > > I am trying to run mysql 4.0.21 server on a freeBSD 5.3 box.
