question about mysql-server.sh

[Christopher Lane]

Hi,

Long story made short:  The mysql-server.sh that came with 
mysql-server-4.1.10a (installed from cvsup'ed ports) wouldn't work until 
after I rebooted the server.  It's working now, so I know I shouldn't 
complain, but anyone know what happened?

Long story: 
1. Minimum installation, added ports distribution, cvsup to latest ports.
2. cd /usr/ports/mysql41-server; make install
3. '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh start' does nothing.
4. I noticed that rc_subr wasn't installed, even though freshports says 
it is required.  So I installed rc_subr from ports, but still no love.
5. I put mysql_enable="YES" in rc.conf (since I would soon want it there 
anyway) and restarted the server.
6. mysql-server.sh works like a charm now.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help shine some light on what might 
have changed that made mysql-server.sh work.
