Hi; [After waiting 4 hours, I don't think my post posted, so I'm re-posting] 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.
