Re: Catastrophic Installation Failure now!
The problem was caused by a permission change in the mysql data directory, in my case /disk02/db/mysql/DATA - why and how is beyond my comprehension. It would be a good tactic for developers to to include a troubleshooting script to check directory permissions in installations, as this is such a common problem. At a minimum a simple checklist would help. I have had situations where I have looked at files/directories after an installation and could not tell what it should be.

In any case, delete the folder and it contents. While you are at it, delete the files in /usr/ports/distfiles also. Update the ports tree, and cd to the version of mysql you want to install. Run make config to insure it is configured correctly. Run; make install make clean Make sure that the correct entry is in the /etc/rc.conf file to enable MySQL to start on boot. I think it is: mysql_enable=YES. Either reboot or cd to the /usr/local/etc/rc.d directory and run the mysql startup script. I believe ./mysql is correct. This should create all of the necessary files and directories you need to initialise MySQL. -- Jerry ges...@yahoo.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
