Make sure this line appears in /etc/rc.conf: mysql_enable="YES" Then reboot and you should be able to see it in sockstat: $ sockstat -4 | grep mysql mysql mysqld 529 3 tcp4 *:3306 *:* If that still does not work then you might want to post you mysql-server.sh file so we can see if you have any obvious problems with it.
