There are several binaries for linux and I picked following for my Redhat Linux 2.1AS (32 bit) from MYSQL site.
mysql-standard-4.1.11-pc-linux-gnu-i686.tar.gz I installed by unzipping/untarring and started the daemon as per instructions. I also added mysql bin directory to my PATH variable. However, it expects me to be in mysql bin directory to invoke 'mysql' to connect or else it gives me following error. mysql -uroot -p ERROR 1251: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client. Any clues why ? Q2. What is the default (small,medium,large,huge conf ?) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
