Hi,
I'm trying to install RH7(Guiness) Mysql RPM. I installed mysql-3.23.22-6
RPM,mysql-devel-3.23.22-6 RPM,mysql-server-3.23.22-6 RPM
I used the GNOME RPM installer from files from the RedHat CD2.
I tried /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new password'
and it returned
>connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error:'Cant connect to local mysqlserver through socket
' /var/lib/mysql.sock (111)'
check mysqld is running and that the /var/lib/mysql.sock exists!'
so I tried starting mysqld with '/usr/bin/safe_mysqld &' and got
>starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql
>010318 mysqld ended
and checked if /var/lib/mysql.sock existed, which it did but was empty.
I saw a file with localhost.localdomain.err and in it was the messsage
>mysqld started
>/usr/libexec/mysqld:Table "mysql.host" doesnt exist
>mysqld ended
I retried mysqladmin -u root password 'new password'
but still came up with the same error.

I've tried to follow the docs from mysql.com but am stumped! I am
relatively
new to linux.
I have managed to install RH7 apache and php4 and they work.
Any help or ideas appreciated.
Thankyou
Jason Baigent
