I'm not an expert on mysql, but I believe you get that message if mysqld isn't running (and because it isn't running, it hasn't created the file). Have you checked if it is running (ps waux | grep mysqld)? If it isn't, run it (should be in the bin directory of mysql). -- Shaun Friedle _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
