I'd like to find out what is different in your build from mine. When I
fetched the port from FreeBSD.org, the very first time make is run, some
script prompted me for which databases I'd like use. I chose mysql and
continued building. Subsequent invocations of make did not invoke that
initial script.
When I built and installed apache with php,ssl,frontpage the mysqld was
already running. The resulting build worked. However when I rebooted, the
apache error log contained messages indicating that php was not able to
connect to mysqld and apache failed to start. I changed the sequence of
starting mysqld and apache and everthing came up nicely. I kill mysqld and
tried again, yielding the original failure. I concluded that there was a
dependency and left it at that. I did not pursue it further.
