I do believe I have a mess on my hands.
Lacking any other guidance, I tried upgrading my mysql to 3.23 with
an rpm on a Redhat Linux 6.1 system. I now have the same directory
layout for mysql as on my Redhat 7 server, except there is no daemon
to be found there. The only mysql daemon found anywhere is still in
/usr/local/mysql/bin, and it still doesn't work. Attempts to execute
no longer insist there is supposed to be a libexec directory. It just
tells me it can't find any data in the var directory. When I ran
scripts/mysql_install_db, it just tells me to remember to copy the
support-files/mysql.server to the right place (wherever that is, if
not where it is already) and to remember to set a password. That
doesn't work either. It wants a /tmp/mysql.sock file, and I don't
have one to give it.
Any ideas?
