OT: Getting started with MySQL

["Richard P. Koett" <richard@cybernet-security.com>]

Dear misc:

I have never done anything with MySQL before. Now I need it to support
some other software so I started like this (from 3.3 CD):

pkg_add mysql-server-3.23.55.tgz

As expected the package install concluded with some hints about things
that need doing. I am finding out that a lot more is needed besides
those hints.

So far I have copied my-small.cnf to /etc/my.cnf and tried running
/usr/local/share/mysql/mysql.server start which results in "Can't start
server: Bind on unix socket: Permission denied".

I'm finding the included documentation hard to follow. There is a lot of
Linux and other stuff in there, along with references to stuff I can't
even find like "mysql_install_db".

Would anyone care to recommend a some good resources where I can learn
how to get a simple install of MySQL running on OpenBSD?

TIA,
RPK.
