Hello.
I have used a shell on a Solaris box, and successfully ran MySQL Server under my non-root account. I didn't have any problems installing it, except that I was unable to start it automatically on boot (I didn't have permission to write to system startup files). Specify your configuration settings, say, in /your/home/my.cnf. Then start MySQL Server using mysqld_safe --defaults-file=/your/home/my.cnf&. Here is the part of my configuration file for MySQL on Linux, however, in my opinion, it is quite suitable for Solaris. [client] port = 3734 socket = /home/gleb/mysqls/tmp/mysql.sock.gleb.t default_character_set=utf8 character-sets-dir= /home/gleb/mysqls/mysql-debug-5.0.11-beta-linux-i686/share/mysql/cha rsets [mysqld] log_slow_queries=/home/gleb/mysqls/logs/mysql.log-slow.s long_query_time=1 set-variable=user=gleb default_character_set=utf8 port = 3734 socket = /home/gleb/mysqls/tmp/mysql.sock.gleb.t pid-file = /home/gleb/mysqls/tmp/mysql.pid.gleb.t log = /home/gleb/mysqls/logs/mysql.log.t log-bin = /home/gleb/mysqls/logs/log_t/log_t log-error = /home/gleb/mysqls/logs/mysql.log-error.t datadir =/home/gleb/mysqls/mysql-debug-5.0.11-beta-linux-i686/data key_buffer = 16K max_allowed_packet = 50M table_cache = 4 sort_buffer_size = 64K read_buffer_size = 256K read_rnd_buffer_size = 256K net_buffer_length = 2K thread_stack = 64K wait_timeout=1000 net_read_timeout = 5555 slave_net_timeout = 2555 interactive_timeout=50 server-id = 1 H S <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > I tried to google and search on mysql.com but couldn't find anything > on installing as a non root and in /xyz directory on Solaris. =20 > Perhaps I miss it? > > I have downloaded=20 > mysql-standard-4.1.13-sun-solaris2.8-sparc-64bit.tar.gz.
