Hi all. I've read the instructions at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/installing-binary.html.
It says The basic commands that 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 & In step 2 says to create an user mysql associated to group mysl. Is more convenient to not create a home directory associated to mysql? Which was the suitable command: useradd -d /dev/null -g mysql mysql? -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
