Hi, One of my new years resolutions was to spend some quality time Mysql. Yesterday I started installing it and I have some problems.
I have downloaded two different packages 1. Mysql 4.0.8 for Freebsd: Is this actually a freebsd package that you need to install with pkg_add? I tried this method as well as installing it as a binary but neither works 2. Mysql 4.0.8 source files Tried to install it with gunzip < mysql-4.0.8-gamma.tar.gz | tar xvf - But I keep on getting errors that points to gunzip or tar 3. Mysql 3.23.49 source Because I could not get Mysql 4 to run I tried the older one again. This installs fine but when I try to start the daemon with #bin/safe_mysqld & I get the message that Mysql started with the databases in /usr/local/var. However, It always immediately gives the Mysql ended message. I have had the problem before and I cannot remember how I fix it.
