You have somehow messed up one of the configuration files which is
loaded when you try to start mysqld. Something is trying to load a
program called "This" which it clearly doesn't find.
Look in the following files for a line which starts "This":
/etc/rc.conf
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh
/etc/defaults/rc.conf
/etc.rc.conf.local (this may not exist and that's OK)
You can then just comment out the line (put a # at the start of it).
However, if you can't figure out why the line got there, you might want
to post the contents of the file here (or at least the relevant portion)
for more help. There may be other errors in the file since something
has clearly messed up.
If that does not help then try:
find /etc -type f -exec egrep -H This {} \; | less
and
find /etc/usr/local/etc -type f -exec egrep -H This {} \; | less
--Alex
PS You can also do the find like this:
find /etc -type f -print | xargs egrep This
which is quicker on large filesystems, but less obvious.
