What to do?
The server isn't running. Start it, and this message
will go away.
If the port/package is correctly installed, then
$ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh start
as root should do the trick.
To have mysql-server start automagically, add:
mysql_enable="YES"
to the file /etc/rc.conf
BTW, shouldn't there be a space between the "-u"
and the "root" ? Probably just a c-n-p error.
