to go, test the server by running
'/usr/local/mysql/share/mysql/mysql.server start' it should start just fine,
you might even want to check the error logs in
/usr/local/mysql/data/(whatever.foo.bar.err)
I hope this helps you out!

Can any one help me install Mysql on my Freebsd 4.2 box..
the first thing I did was:
got a copy of Mysql for mysql.com
placed in in the /usr/local
then:
>gzip -dc mysql-3_23_36-unknown-freebsdelf4_2-i386_tar.gz | tar -vxf -
created a mysql directory.
/usr/local/mysql
then
./configure --prefi
