Hello I have some questions regarding the installation of some ports. Though, as it isn't imho ports specific, i ask here. Please excuse me if I'm wrong =) I've tried to install mysql323-server. "make" works well, but, typing "make install" fails when coming to the point of running the "mysql_install_db" script, complaining as following : mkdir: cannot make directory `/var/db/mysql': File exists mkdir: cannot make directory `/var/db/mysql/mysql': File exists mkdir: cannot make directory `/var/db/mysql/test': File exists The files/directories don't exist and of course when mysql try to test the dbs, it fails =) Why does it tell me that files already exist ? Why can't it create them ? I've thought about a flags problem on /var but it doesn't seem to have any : drwxr-xr-x 19 root wheel - 512 May 27 14:09 var (by the way, to have the expected display with ls -lo, ie having it display the flags of files, I must run /bin/ls and not just ls. Does it have something to do with the fact that I'm running zsh ?) And I'm running at level -1 of kernel.securelevel (FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE with an up-to-date release=cvs port tree) Thanks for any answers Vincent To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
