You can start the MySQL server doing the following steps:
$ echo "mysqld=yes" >> /etc/rc.conf # NetBSD or a system with rc.d
If you are using PKG_RCD_SCRIPTS=YES, try the following:
$ ${RCD_SCRIPTS_DIR}/mysqld start
Otherwise try:
$ ${LOCALBASE}/${RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR}/mysqld start
After the tables are set up and the MySQL server is running,
please remember to set a password for the MySQL root user!
This is done by running both:
${PREFIX}/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password 'new-password'
${PREFIX}/bin/mysqladmin -h `hostname` -u root -p password 'new-password'
The "Enter password:" prompt is asking for the existing password.
As there is no existing password, just press the Return key.
There is a script distributed with MySQL that can help you lock down
an installation. This script has been installed to
${PREFIX}/bin/mysql_secure_installation.
Please see the manual and the MySQL web site for more instructions.
