What happens if you run "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh start" manually? Does the log file enlighten you (/var/db/mysql/[boxname].err)?
I think you may have found it. I was able to stop mysql using the rc script. However starting it back up did nothing:
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh start Starting mysql.
Yet mysql never started up, here is the error log:
---
041208 14:07:26 mysqld started
041208 14:07:26 [ERROR] Can't find messagefile '/usr/local/share/mysql/english/errmsg.sys'
041208 14:07:26 [ERROR] Aborting
041208 14:07:26 mysqld ended ---
I do have the file it's complaining about:
# ll -d /usr/local/share/mysql/english/errmsg.sys
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 16568 Dec 6 20:28 /usr/local/share/mysql/english/err
msg.sys
If I start it up with mysql_safe using what I think the script is using as startup:
# /usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql --datadir=/var/db/mysql --pid-file=/var/db/mysql/alpargata.net.pid &
Then it starts up just fine:
---
041208 14:07:32 mysqld started
041208 14:07:32 InnoDB: Started; log sequence number 0 43912
/usr/local/libexec/mysqld: ready for connections.
Version: '4.1.7' socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' port: 3306 FreeBSD port: mysql-server-4.1.7
---
So I'm really not sure what's going on.
