1.2       schmonz     1: Installing a MySQL Server is easy. 
                      2: 
                      3: The fastest way is to install the Binary Package. This is only recommended, if you wish to use your server as a stand alone mysql server, without any other server software like a webserver. If you wish to use Apache and PHP please read the article: [[How to install a LAMP Server]]. 
                      4: 
                      5: 
                      6: It has the mysql-client as a dependency, which have to be installed first. 
                      7:     
                      8:     # pkg_add -v mysql-client
                      9:     # pkg_add -v mysql-server
                     10:     
                     11: 
                     12: If you decide to install via pkgsrc, because of a newer version, just enter: 
                     13:     
1.3     ! sevan      14:     # cd /usr/pkgsrc/databases/mysql56-server/
1.2       schmonz    15:     # make install clean
                     16:     
                     17: 
                     18: It will automatically compile the client and the server. 
                     19: 
                     20: That's it... almost. Now copy the rc.d script into /etc/rc.d/: 
                     21:     
                     22:     # cp /usr/pkg/share/examples/rc.d/mysqld /etc/rc.d/
                     23:     
                     24: 
                     25: and start the MySQL server via the NetBSD's [rc.d(8)](http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?rc.d+8+NetBSD-current) framework. Only one modification is needed to [rc.conf(5)](http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?rc.conf+5+NetBSD-current): 
                     26:     
                     27: 
                     28: # echo "mysqld=yes" >> /etc/rc.conf
                     29:     
                     30: 
                     31: If you want to copy the rc.d scripts automatically with pkgsrc, you can use: 
                     32:     
                     33:     PKG_RCD_SCRIPTS=YES 
                     34:     
                     35: 
                     36: into mk.conf(5). 
                     37: 
                     38: If mysql is not starting up, you may need to create and set permissions on the /var/mysql directory and setup the default mysql db: 
                     39:     
                     40:     # mkdir /var/mysql
                     41:     # mysql_install_db
                     42:     # chown -R mysql:mysql /var/mysql
                     43:     
                     44: 
                     45: If you need information about the MySQL server package, use the following: 
                     46:     
                     47:     # pkg_info mysql-server
                     48:     
                     49: 
                     50: Have fun.
