I have been trying to install mysql on my freebsd box but it won't work. When I use a freebsd package it works but it does not put it where I want it. It seems like there is little control over it The freebsd package is also an older version (3.23.42)
I have downloaded the binary for freebsd from the mysql website. I followed the instructions from the o'reilly book ,the mysql manual and the php/mysql web applications. Everything seems to work until I run ./mysqladmin or I want to start mysql. I get the error that /tmp/mysql.sock cannot be found. I can't see it there either. It was there when installed it as a package Any ideas?
