Assuming you are using the mysql port (ports/packages are FreeBSD's equivalent to RPMs. See http://www.freebsd.org/ports ), the startup scripts are in /usr/local/etc/rc.d, and mysqld lives in /usr/local/libexec. If you did not build using the port, then no startup scripts were installed and you'll probably have to run mysqld_safe yourself from /etc/rc.local. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
