I'm having trouble installing the MySQL RPM on Linux. I've got
mysql-3.23.32-1.7.i386.rpm and I'm on RH Linux 7.0. I run 'rpm -i
mysql-3.23.32-1.7.i386.rpm' and it shows no errors, but then I try running
'mysql' (the client) and get this error:
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)
It's not too difficult to figure out why: the mysql daemon isn't running.
'ps a | grep -i mysql' comes up empty; there's nothing in /etc/rc.d to start
mysql. I found a file /usr/share/mysql/mysql.server which is a script that
says it's supposed to be run from /etc/rc.d, but it's 644 (not executable),
and definitely not linked to rc.d. There are a lot of mysql* files in
/usr/bin...
What am I missing? Did the rpm get installed correctly and there's just
some other step I'm supposed to do? Or did it not install correctly? How
can I tell?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Nate
