I install MySQL this way and the socket is there for me: # rm -R /var/db/mysql // removes old databases # pkg_add -r mysql41-server // install software # ls -l /tmp/mysql.sock ls: /tmp/mysql.sock: No such file or directory # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh forcestart // start server # ls -l /tmp/mysql.sock srwxrwxrwx 1 mysql wheel 0 14 Dez 08:32 /tmp/mysql.sock # echo 'mysql_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf That's it.
