Apache will always start even > is MySQL is not running (very easy to test btw). I know it is true for ICRADIUS and others that use MySQL. I mis-spoke on Apache. The problem we had there was an issue of ldconfig of the MySQL hints. The /var/log/radius.log file gives: Thu Feb 3 00:45:19 2000: Error: Init: Couldn't connect authentication socket to MySQL server on localhost as radius Thu Feb 3 00:45:19 2000: Error: Init: Couldn't connect accounting socket to MySQL server on localhost as radius Putting a short sleep at the end of the mysql-server script or the beginning of the radiusd script solves the problem. Of course, putting it in the mysql-server script fixes it for more than radius. I just don't like using an arbitrary sleep value. Setting it too low risks not really fixing the problem and setting it too high just delays the boot process. kenn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
