Database is done by installer.pl so re-run it. If you only intend to
create the database then you can skip installer.pl and call this
directly instead:

* database must not exist if it does drop it *

cd /usr/local/pf/
mysqladmin --host=<host> --port=<port> -u <admin_user> create <database>
mysql --host=<host> --port=<port> -u <admin_user> -p <database> <
db/pfschema.mysql

host is localhost if you are running mysql locally port is usually 3306
database is usually pf admin_user is usually root password will be
prompted for on the command line

I hope this helps!
