I have been using mysql since fbsd 7.2 and always just issued the mysql_install_db command on the command line to create mysql's control databases and it always worked fine. But now with fbsd 8.2 I get the following error and have no idea why. I installed using pkg_add -r mysql55-server command. I see that 3 weeks ago you updated the mysql55-server port from mysql 554 to 559. I believe there is an error in your update causing the mysql_install_db command to error out. The error message follows. # /usr/local/bin >mysql_install_db --user=mysql or #root >mysql_install_db --user=mysql FATAL ERROR: Could not find ./bin/my_print_defaults If you compiled from source, you need to run 'make install' to copy the software into the correct location ready for operation. If you are using a binary release, you must either be at the top level of the extracted archive, or pass the --basedir option pointing to that location. ********* end of error msg. ******** # /usr/local/bin >locate my_print_defaults /usr/local/bin/my_print_defaults As you can see the script the error message says it can not find is really in the same location as the mysql_install_db script, so it should have found it. I ended up pointing to the 8.1 packages with the pkg-add command to install and then the mysql-server5.5.4 mysql_install_db command ran from the command line without any errors.
