I am attempting to create a mysql database so that I can install Group Office using
mysqladmin create groupoffice and I keep getting the following errors:

mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' exists!

I looked in /tmp and mysql.sock is not there.

Can someone please tell me what is wrong and what I need to do to correct this?

I install MySQL this way and the socket is there for me:

# rm -R /var/db/mysql                           // removes old databases
# pkg_add -r mysql41-server                     // install software
# ls -l /tmp/mysql.sock
ls: /tmp/mysql.sock: No such file or directory
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh forcestart        // start server
# ls -l /tmp/mysql.sock
srwxrwxrwx  1 mysql  wheel  0 14 Dez 08:32 /tmp/mysql.sock
# echo 'mysql_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf

That's it.
