I have installed freebsd ..

sever# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysqld restart
Stopping mysqld: [ FAILED ]
Starting mysqld: [ OK ]

thanks i add this link but it does not help me

When I try to connect from console

I get

sever# mysql
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (61)

just a suggestion:

do

#ps -aux | grep mysql

to see if mysql is running first?

u shuld also check the permissions in /var/lib/mysql directory for mysql user
