Do you have a full description sharing the HowTo ? The problem here is sorted. I was blinded by the jump in version number of MySQL and the otherwise great http://www.openbsdsupport.org/mysql.htm Here the story goes similar to what I had to do earlier: Stop MySQL rmdir /var/run/mysql mkdir /var/www/var/run/mysql chown _mysql:_mysql /var/www/var/run/mysql ln -s /var/www/var/run/mysql /var/run/mysql Start MySQL With the following in /etc/rc.local: # Start MySQL server if [ -x /usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe ] ; then rm -Rf /var/run/mysql rm -Rf /var/www/var/run/mysql/* ln -s /var/www/var/run/mysql /var/run/mysql sleep 1 su -c _mysql root -c '/usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe &' > /dev/null & echo -n ' mysql' fi to get it started at boot. I wonder if there is a simpler way ? In any case, may I humbly suggest to document something to this behalf in the install message or point to a /usr/local/share/doc/ or /usr/local/share/example ?
