Hi Jon,
My guess is you installed from the freebsd ports, which should have
setup your ( ' /usr/local/mysql_install_db') but since this is a
fresh install try running is again to make sure. The at the command
line enter:
/usr/local/bin/safe_mysqld&
If it gives and error message check the 'my-server-name'.err file in
the database directory (ports sets this to /var/db/mysql) and read the
error, if you can figure out the problem post the error message. If
there is nothing in the file or no error file it is probably a
permissions problem, verify the owner of the directories ( should be
'mysql')
Hope this helps
Ken
