    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:     
   14:     # cd /usr/pkgsrc/databases/mysql5-server/
   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.
