During inital install of /usr/ports/databases/mysql41-server the Makefile does not use the DB_DIR variable when creating the inital database. So when /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh start is executed there is no database. Fix: Apply following patch How-To-Repeat: # make DB_DIR=/usr/home/mysql OVERWRITE_DB=yes install
State Changed From-To: open->closed Committed, Thanks!
