k, I followed the instuctions on the MySQL page, downloaded
mysql-3.23.36-pc-linux-gnu-i686.tar.gz for redhat linux and then followed
the install directions:
shell> groupadd mysql
shell> useradd -g mysql mysql
shell> cd /usr/local
shell> gunzip < /path/to/mysql-VERSION-OS.tar.gz | tar xvf -
shell> ln -s mysql-VERSION-OS mysql
shell> cd mysql
shell> scripts/mysql_install_db <---------- The install
shell> chown -R root /usr/local/mysql
I got up to this part and it gave me an error, here's what I did, should I
have just done it by rpm? Just in case how would I uninstall this if I
change my mind to install by rpm instead, or is there anything to uninstall?
What do I do?
thx,
Dave
