Mysql installation woes...
Im trying to install mysql on freebsd 6.2 for the first time ...
Installed mysql4-server from the ports, Created the directory /usr/local/mysql/data and chmod 777 the data folder Then added into rc.conf: mysql_enable="YES" mysql_dbdir="/usr/local/mysql/data" I'm trying to access mysql using "mysql -u root -p" and keep getting the error: ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) Getting a bit fustrated here, not having much luck googling it - any tips to get this working ??? Cheers, Dave.

Nevermind, I figured out what I was missing!
 "mysql_install_db --user=mysql" Cheers, Dave.
