The pkg_add -r msql41-server auto installs mysql41-client as a dependaent so when you ran pkg_add -r mysql41-client it found it was all ready there just like it should. This is not an error. Next you have to do rehash command or reboot box so system can find those new modules. Then run mysql_install_db --user=mysql from the command line to tell mysql to create its internel control db. Then mysql -u root should work. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Peter Michaux Sent: Saturday, May 20, 2006 11:58 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: installing MySQL with FreeBSD pkg_add Hi, I am happy to have FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE and KDE running on my intel box.
