20Hi;
I had a working installation of MySQL, and then I zapped it. I found out the
hard way that when you delete symlinks, you also delete the files to which they
are linked :( I wiped my entire /usr/local/include dir. I'm using ports on
FreeBSD 6.2. As it happens, I had a complete copy of the identical include dir
on another machine, so I tarballed it and copied it over. Unfortunately, that
didn't seem to help. I rebuild MySQL from ports and everything looks fine. But
when I try to fire it up I discover it's not up. When I run
/usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe &
it starts up and immediately dies. What log file would tell me what happened? Also, strangely, if I move the
/usr/local/include/mysql
folder and rebuild MySQL, it *doesn't* rebuild that folder! I would have
assumed that folder would have been built in the installation of MySQL. Please
advise.
TIA,
Scott
