>have you run mysql_install_db on your production server? Let me add more to my response. After running your command, I have these three problems (from the error log): 1) MySQL still complains about the 0 size of the ibdata1 file I added to satisfy its complaint for the same; 2) MySQL complains and shuts down because it demands a pid file, but when I added one it just deleted it and still shut down; 3) MySQL now is asking for a general_log.frm file. Here is my question/problem: Why is MySQL asking for all these files?? It didn't build them out when I built the FreeBSD port. It didn't ask for them when I built a running copy on this server before I accidentally deleted (and then rebuilt from a backup) the /usr/local/include dir. It didn't ask for them when I built a running copy on another identical server. Nor did I run your command on any of those other installations, and everything worked fine. So, why does it ask for them now? This seems like a fundamental problem.
