Hi Antnee,
I had similar problems, and then I decided to write up the solutions to them in hope that it'd be useful to others as well.
You can find the article in:
OpenBSD: Fully Loaded
Although it's written for OpenBSD, it should work for other *BSDs as well with minimum modification.
Hope it helps.
cheers,
Harry

PROBLEM: I can't make head nor tail of a lot of the help that I read on the web. All I want is the ability to install updates and fixes myself when I need to as my host won't do that due to shared servers etc.
I did something like this after su-ing to root:
Code:
cd /usr/ports/www/mod_php5
make install clean
cd /usr/ports/databases/mysql40-server
make install clean
When I try "/usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql" and "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql.sh" I just get a standard "Command not found" message in reply
If I try "/usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe &" I get a message saying that MySQLD ended!
"ps -ax" doesn't show MySQL at all either and I get "Failed in mysql_real_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)" if I try to run /usr/local/bin/mysqltest
Please help, in English!  | OpenBSD: Fully Loaded
