Greetings, I'm trying to set up a system at home, using FreeBSD, Apache, PHP4, and MySQL. FreeBSD, Apache, and PHP4 all went in perfectly, without any errors being reported. However, I'm having a hell of a time trying to get MySQL Server installed. I have all the "prerequisite" packages installed, and I'm using the pkg_add command with the following results: --- >pkg_add ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/mysql-server- 3.23.49.tgz Fetching... Done. Sorry, the host '192' cound not be looked up. Please configure the 'hostname' command to return a correct hostname. If you want to solve this at a later stage, restart this script with the --force option pkg_add: command '/usr/local/bin/mysql_install_db' failed mysql:*:88: You alread have a group "myswl", so I will use it. mysql:*:88:88:0:0:MySQL Daemon:/var/db/mysql:/sbin/nologin You already have a user "mysql", so I will use it. pw: WARNING: home '/var/db/mysql' does not exist Changed home directory of "mysql" to "/var/db/mysql" chown: /var/db/mysql: No such file or directory pkg_add: install script returned error status --- I've read various pages on MySQL, but nothing seems to address this error. Can someone please direct me to a help page/site that can be of use, or perhaps just tell me what I can do? Regards, Justin P.
