Not being able to solve my prior problem (Error 2002) I went ahead and removed mysql and reinstalled it. I'm running OpenBSD 3.2
Here is how it went: point# pkg_add mysql-server-3.23.49.tgz ===> Creating mysql group for MySQL ===> Creating mysql user for MySQL useradd: Warning: home directory `/nonexistent' doesn't exist, and -m was not specified Sorry, the host 'point' could not be looked up. Please configure the 'hostname' command to return a correct hostname. The name of this machine is point and the domain is spotz.bb. This is not a real domain I'm using. Then I try to start it: point# ./safe_mysqld & [1] 11688 point# touch: /var/mysql/point.err: No such file or directory chown: /var/mysql/point.err: No such file or directory Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/mysql ./safe_mysqld[218]: cannot create /var/mysql/point.err: No such file or directory ./safe_mysqld[234]: cannot create /var/mysql/point.err: No such file or directory tee: /var/mysql/point.err: No such file or directory 030122 13:59:57 mysqld ended tee: /var/mysql/point.err: No such file or directory Why doesn't mysql create these directories when installing? What do I need to do based upon the output above? I may have missed some steps so be gentle please. Thanks, Anthony. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
