I can't seem to figure out how to have mysql start up when booting up for a server than I am now managing.

root@: uname -a
FreeBSD .server1 5.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE #0: Fri Nov  5 04:19:18 UTC 2004    root@harlow.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

The script that starts mysql is here: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql.server

In /etc/rc.conf, I have mysql_enabled="yes"

Anyone have any ideas of what is missing?

In 5.3 all /usr/local/etc/rc.d scripts must end in .sh in order to be executed.

See /etc/rc.d/localpkg

  • aha! Good catch! the 5.3 part didn't register and you're 100% right. Rename the script to end in .sh and it should fire up. (Also take this time to remind your client that 5.x is End-Of-Life and an upgrade wouldn't be unwarranted :-) – voretaq7 Feb 08 '10 at 20:56
  • Wonderful. I was thinking it might have been a problem with the script name since it was so different. I'll be able to test the change soon. – Echo says Reinstate Monica Feb 08 '10 at 21:18
