MYSQL HOW TO START

[disappearedng]

Hi everyone recently I have installed mysql using the following:

sudo pkg_add -r mysql51-client
sudo pkg_add -r mysql51-server
sudo pkg_add -r mysql51-scripts

under /usr/local/etc/rc.d, I can't find mysql 's script.

How do I start, restart or stop mysql without restarting?

If there's no /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server on your machine, something went wrong. It gets started by mysql_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf.

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server restart

[disappearedng@ /usr/local/etc/rc.d]$ cd /usr/local/etc/rc.d/    
[disappearedng@ /usr/local/etc/rc.d]$ ls -a

Could you try this?

/usr/local/share/mysql/mysql.server restart

Oh.
I realize that I can't access the script using
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server
but
sh /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.

I came from ubuntu and to run this script, all I need is /etc/init.d/mysql start
but what have I lacked in my system which forces me to use sh for scripts?

Thx

Make sure that /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server is executable.
# chmod 555 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server

One thing that catches a lot of people coming from Linux is that you have to use su - instead of su -m
