MySQL Startup Script

[Drew Jenkins]

It was adding mysql_enable="YES" to the rc.conf script that I lacked. Oops. Thank you all.

Now, for some reason I need to keep setting the environment to get MySQL to run:

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib/mysql/

Can I automate this by adding it to the myslq-server script?
TIA,
Drew

Have you bothered to place the proper directive in the '/etc/rc,conf'
file; i.e., 

    MYSQL_ENABLE=yes

Otherwise, if you want to start it from the command line sans that
statement, you will have to use:

    /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server force

Check out the mysql script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d for further details.
