Hi list, This is the first time I am installing MySql on my machine. I downloaded the latest tar version (3.23.46) from mysql.com and tried to install it. But when I gave the command ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql It gave me the message that you don't need to configure this package since this is binary and ready to run. But if I try to check with mysql admin command or safe_mysqld , it doesnot work. Could anyone help me please ? Thanks in advance .
Kamlesh. The Message which I got after ./configure command is as follows : [root@admin mysql-3.23.46-pc-linux-gnu-i686]# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql NOTE: This is a MySQL binary distribution. It's ready to run, you don't need to configure it! To help you a bit, I am now going to create the needed MySQL databases and start the MySQL server for you. If you run into any trouble, please consult the MySQL manual, that you can find in the Docs directory.

This is done with: ./bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password 'new-password' ./bin/mysqladmin -u root -h admin.com -p password 'new-password' See the manual for more instructions.
