installing MySQL with FreeBSD pkg_add

[Peter Michaux]

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
