You don't have mysql in root's path. Once you fix that little problem, you should be all set.
Hi All,
heck, how exactly do I do that..? Move the whole mysql dir to a path dir..? Why is this so, when I followed the install steps from mysql's site. Hmmmmmm, damn annoying. Cheers.
I followed the below from their install page,
If you run into problems, /please always use *mysqlbug*/ when posting questions to a MySQL mailing list. Even if the problem isn't a bug, *mysqlbug* gathers system information that helps others solve your problem. By not using *mysqlbug*, you lessen the likelihood of getting a solution to your problem. You can find *mysqlbug* in the |bin| directory after you unpack the distribution. See Section 1.4.1.3, “How to Report Bugs or Problems” <http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/bug-reports.html>.
The basic commands you must execute to install and use a MySQL binary distribution are:
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 /|full-path-to-mysql-VERSION-OS|/ mysql shell> cd mysql shell> scripts/mysql_install_db --user=mysql shell> chown -R root . shell> chown -R mysql data shell> chgrp -R mysql . shell> bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &
For versions of MySQL older than 4.0, substitute *bin/safe_mysqld* for *bin/mysqld_safe* in the final command.
