mysql will not start

mysql 5.6 will not start. I can't find a log file and don't see any my.cnf. Where should I look to see what is going on?

There is no /tmp/mysql.sock.
 
Looks like I messed up something when installing mysql....

What should I do if I want to re-install to ensure a pristine environment ie what else apart from pkg delete mysql56-server?
 
A rm -rf /var/db/mysql is usually enough. I'm a bit lost with versions at the moment, some may have a /usr/local/etc/mysql/ directory you could also remove.
