David, I'm not seeing anyone else asking you to provide a little more information and context, so I will.
Which instructions were you following? In what way did it actually crash? At what precise step did the crash occur? Do you have crash logs? Was your mysql setup properly configured? Are you familiar with installing and managing mysql? I'll note that the GnuCash guidance I've seen over the years suggests that if you're going to use mysql, it is assumed that you are comfortable with managing the mysql side of things. If you're not, you should reconsider the choice. David T.
