First let me say that I've been sucessful in finding all my answer either online, at the BSD website, or in my "Absolute BSD" book until now. I recently installed FreeBSD version 5.4 along with Apache 1.3, PHP5, and MySQL 5.02. I had everything working together great until today when I tried to copy over a .sql file so MySQL could see it and run it. I accidentally copied it over to /usr/local/bin/mysql thinking mysql was a directory. You can see the problem. Now I cannot start mysql at the command prompt from the /usr/local/bin since I overwrote the the required mysql file. My question(s) are: Is there any way to revert back to the original file if this type of mistake is made? If not is there anyway to get just that one file without having to do a complete removal and installation? And finally, is the only way to NOT do this again is to use the appropriate flags with cp?
