Hey there. I was having trouble with the “mysql_install_db: command not found” when installing FreeBSD 7. I ran the rehash command and then entered mysql_install_db again and it worked fine.

On FreeBSD 7.0 you don’t need to manually install the databases and set permissions, that is done in the startup script the first time it is run.

Just make sure you have
mysql_enable=”YES”
in /etc/rc.conf before you run mysql-server.

You could hence rewrite the install instructions to this:

cd /usr/ports/databases/mysql50-server
make install clean
echo ‘mysql_enable=”YES”‘ >> /etc/rc.conf
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server start

Where can I find these files on a MySql 5.1 install on FreeBSD 6.2?

my-huge.cnf, my-large.cnf, my-medim.cnf, my-small.cnf or my-innodb-heavy-4G.cnf

rehash is a command to ‘refresh’ the system. Did it work after rehash.

If you’re getting “mysql_install_db: Command not found.” after punching in “mysql_install_db”, you should try to cd to /usr/local/bin/ and then run “mysql_install_db”.

Cheers.

rc.conf contains
mysql_enable=”YES”
apache22_enable=”YES”

here is results from mysqladmin -user admin

mysqladmin: connect to server at ‘localhost’ failed
error: ‘Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/tmp/mysql.sock’ (2)’
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: ‘/tmp/mysql.sock’ exists!

Check if you can run mysqladmin or other mysql tools. Also make sure your “YES” in rc.conf is using proper “, as the ” in the article has been changed.

Ive followed this guide but when i run “mysql-server.sh start” it returns starting mysql and does nothing else. i ran “mysql-server.sh status” and it returned “mysql is not running”

mysql_enable=”YES” is in rc.conf but is not starting. any help?

The problem is that mysql (version 5.x) is not starting with mysql_enable=”YES” in /etc/rc.conf.
Im using FreeBSD v6.1.x. I do not have the space problem between enable and the “=”. The message I receive on bootup is “YES: notfound”.

Any suggestions welcome.
