Before doing anything else, first read the MySQL error log --
usually in /var/db/mysql.  I suspect that you need to run a repair
job on some of your databases -- mysqlcheck is your friend.

Once you've done that, mysql should come up smoothly.

Cheers,

Matthew

LOL! No worries. We need a bit of humor from time to time.

:) glad to hear it works now.

maybe you didn't see an error as 'mysql' is a valid command? (the MySQL SQL
command interface)

Looks like mysql has crashed.  Restart it and it will recreate the
socket file.  If it refuses to start, look at the err file in
/var/db/mysql .

RTFM, but...
Occasionally I get odd things happening, things not
starting up even though rc.conf has the right
information. Try starting by hand using the script in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d
If it doesn't start that way, then run the command
that actually starts mysql and see if it complains
about something missing.
