Hi

 

I have been trying to get mysql running for the past two days without luck.
I added these two packages using sysinstall from FTP. 

mysql-client-4.0.26_1 Multithreaded SQL database (client)

mysql-server-4.0.26_2 Multithreaded SQL database (server)

 

I went to the folder /usr/ports/databases/mysql40-server/ and did a make
clean install.

 

Then I created the file /etc/my.cnf like

 

fr# more my.cnf

[mysqld]

datadir=/usr/local/mysql/data

socket=/tmp/mysql.sock

 

[mysql.server]

user=mysql

basedir=/usr/local/bin/mysql

 

 

I got stuck at this point. I have been reading online without luck. I do not
even know how to start mysql.

 

I hope you guys can point in the right directions.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Fidel Garcia
