Description Edwrd Rudd 2004-03-08 03:20:18 UTC

I installed the databases/mysql40-server package on my system first from the
sysinstall program then downloading the file manually and installing with
pkg-add.. sysinstall returned an error that the script failed to run
correctly.. And when running with pkg-add the output yeilded that the
/var/db/mysql directory did not exist and was not being created by the
install script..

Fix: 

create the /var/db/mysql directory before installing mysql40-server
How-To-Repeat: fresh install of FreeBSD 5.2.1 w/o any mysql DBs installed (and no
/var/db/mysql directory) and install the mysql40-server package.

When you run pkg_add (and finally mysql_install_db), did you see any 
error messages regarding your hostname and suggestions like trying to 
use the --force options?

Yeah.. but why would that cause the /var/db/mysql directory to not be
created??
And the entries are in my /etc/hosts file.. but for some reason they are
being ignored.

Can you paste the content of your /etc/hosts file and tell me the output 
of "hostname" and "hostname -s", please?

Comment 5 Edwrd Rudd 2004-03-10 21:42:09 UTC

active uncommented entries in /etc/hosts are
::1	localhost localhost.my.domain
127.0.0.1	localhost localhost.my.domain

hostname 
freebsd.vernon.hills
hostname -s
freebsd

Which freebsd is in my local dns, so they resolve.
but the script complained about not being able to resolve localhost.
And there is no /etc/nsswitch.conf

I'm quite sure to have found a bug in the mysql_install_db code. I have 
a patch, please wait.
