I hope you are aware that you're running a bleeding edge version of MySQL. If you're using the MySQL for anything important, I'd highly recommend to switching to the more stable 5.0 series :) – mikl Jul 11 '09 at 13:14
Actually you probably want mysql-5.1.x which is the latest general release. Also BSD7 runs Mysql much faster then BSD6 though if your machine is just a single CPU you probably won't notice a difference. – kashani Jul 11 '09 at 23:54

Normally that just means that mysqld isn't running. Try invoke-rc.d mysql start.

Thanx a lot, some how in /etc/rc.conf i had a tow times line mysql_enable="YES" After I clear on line and call /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server start Now I have running mysql. – adopilot Jul 11 '09 at 13:02
There's no invoke-rc.d on FreeBSD – at least not on my system – but if you find the correct rc.d dir, there should be a shell script. For packages installed through ports, it is usually the /usr/local/etc/rc.d – mikl Jul 11 '09 at 13:23

Check if your mysql process can write in /tmp
