I have a fresh install of databases/mysql80-server version 8.0.21 (installed using pkg install mysql80-server), and when I attempt to start the service, it doesn't seem to actually start. I've looked through threads on this forum and a few others, and still haven't found a solution, so I'll post what I have done to track down the issue so far and hope someone can point me in the right direction.
