I'm installing MySQLto a Corel /Debian platform, following directions in the book Beginning PHP4. Successfully did ./configure, make, make install, and mysql_install_db as described on page 387. The book says I'll now need to start and stop the Mysql server using two sample scripts, to wit:
[sample startmysqld script] #! /bin/bash /usr/bin/safe_mysqld & [sample stopmysqld script] #!/bin/bash kill 'cat /usr/var/$HOSTNAME.pid' Looks easy enough except that I don't have a clue where these scripts are supposed to reside on my system. And/or whether I'm supposed to execute these manually from a console prompt or have them run automatically at boot and shutdown. Thanks in advance for your help.
