I have started all over again on a fresh Freebsd installation. I have all the files in my /usr/local/mysql directory and I run Scripts/mysql_install_db
After that I take the following action $ chown -R root /usr/local/mysql $ chgrp -R mysql /usr/local/mysql $ chown -R mysql /usr/local/mysql/data Than something happens that I don't really understand When I run bin/safe_mysqld -user=mysql & The daemon starts followed by the message that mysqld ended. This does not seem to happen when I run bin/safe_mysqld &. I don't know the difference but the service keeps on running with the latter I have copied support-files/mysql.server to /usr/local/etc/rc.d (the startup directory) but when I reboot I have to start mysqld manual again The ./bin/mysqladmin -p password does not seem to let me update the password. Any ideas?

Starting a MySQL server shouldn't ever result in it attempting to contact itself via /tmp/mysql.sock. It sounds like something is rather messed up in your configuration. Jeremy -- Jeremy D.
