I have spent the past 24 hours trying to install and configure MySql on my account at
my ISP. Every try failes.
I have three different instructions and none works.
Installing is no problem. What I can't do is change password to one I want or even run
the server without changing the dafault password. I cant even log in with default pwd.
Below is a cut&paste of a mailings between me and someone who tried helping me. See if
you can figure it out.
> start MySql:
> bin/safe_mysqld &
>
Gave the following result:
bin/mysqld: Fatal error: Can't find messagefile
'/usr/local/mysql/share/mysql/english/errmsg.sys
>
> bin/mysql
>
Same error message as above
Later:
> bin/mysql
>
And that gave:
ERROR 1045: Access denied for user 'stage1@localhost' (Using Password: NO)
Yet later:
> start MySql:
> bin/safe_mysqld &
>
Now I got:
Starting mysql daemon with databases from /home/stage1/.www/mysql-x.xx.xxetcetcetc/data
rm: cannot unlink '/tmp/mysql.sock':operation not permitted
010331 13:57:50 mysqld ended
Full instructions I got from my friend was the following:
As root, untar into /usr/local:
tar xvfz mysql-xx.xx.xx.tar.gz
create a symlink to a mysql directory:
ln -s mysql-xx.xx.xx mysql
cd to mysql and prep the database:
cd mysql
scripts/mysql_install_db
start MySql:
bin/safe_mysqld &
now connect to it:
bin/mysql
(no parameters!)
And you're there.
Well, I followed his instructions and they worked as far as what I pasted above.
My plan is to phpnuke the entire site and therefore I need the MySQL. To add to it all
I have absolutely no knowledge of either Linux or Unix. But I intend to learn.
Thanks in advance for any help I get.
Cheers
Tatti
