If you have portsclean installed, part of the portupgrade package, please read the manual for it and run it. "portsclean -CLP" should do the trick. Then update your ports tree. I would recommend 'portsnap' but that decision is up to you. Then navigate to databases/mysql51-server I would recommend that you delete that directory you created manually. It probably has the wrong permissions, etc. and will cause a build problem. Do the regular "make install && make clean" and you should be good to go. Place: mysql_enable="YES" in the /etc/rc.conf file and then either reboot or run the rc.d file: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server start and it will create the directories it requires. You still have to create a use though. Ciao! -- Gerard
