The pkg_add -r msql41-server auto installs mysql41-client
as a dependaent so when you ran pkg_add -r mysql41-client
it found it was all ready there just like it should.
This is not an error.
Next you have to do rehash command or reboot box so system
can find those new modules.
Then run
mysql_install_db --user=mysql
from the command line to tell mysql to create its internel control
db.
Then mysql -u root should work.

Subject: installing MySQL with FreeBSD pkg_add
Hi,
I am happy to have FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE and KDE running on my intel
box. I am now trying to install MySQL. I logged in as root and ran
the
following commands
# pkg_add -r msql41-server
Added group "mysql"
Added user "mysql"
# pkg_add -r mysql41-client
"mysql-client-4.1.18_1" or its older version already installed
# mysql -uroot
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through
socket
'tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
What to do?
Thanks,
Peter
