Hi,
I am trying to set up Mysql on the following system (its only a test bed for home
useage, for a small scale internet based
project) Ideally, this system will be a MySQL, Apache, PHP setup. Low powered I know,
but I am assured possible and
OK for my purposes
Proc: 486 DX2 66
Mem: 40MB
HD: 8.4GB
Linux: Slackware 7.1- ZipSlack to be more exact
MY QUESTION
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT OTHER USERS RECOMMEND FOR SUCH A SETUP. WHAT VERSIONS TO USE
AND SO FORTH.
I am having big problems and although I have looked at the scripts etc and changed
paths, I can not get the system up
and running.
I would say I am a beginner at these sysadmin jobs and therefore any advice would be
welcome.
MY PROBLEMS SO FAR
All versions of MySQL I have tried so far have come in RPM format which I have
rpm2targz to set up. Then I have
gunzip/tar or tar xzf to unpack the archive. The archive unpacks in different folders
to those that the scripts expect and
this is a problem for a start. Also some files seem to be missing, in particular
mysql.sock . In summary, I am not sure if this
unpacking process is working correctly and maybe this explains my problems.
MYSQL_INSTALL_DB fails to create the grant tables....
When I setup in an alternative fashion mysql_install_db works, I then find that I can
not find the mysql.sock.
All advice is welcome..
Duncan
