I need some newbie help... I've installed RedHat7.1 off RH7.1 CDs, also, installed MySQL that came with it,
the installed MySQL did NOT have InnoDB support; I then d/l off mysql.com MySQL-Max-3.23.49a-1.i386.rpm I installed it using: rpm --install MySQL-Max-3.23.49a-1.i386.rpm (I think.... that's how it's meant to be installed, I'm a newbie) howver, on restart. the 'original CD revison' started, NOT, MAX then, i tried starting MySQL-Max by explicitly calling it, it said: 'you have wrong error files' SO: using webmin, I removed all mysql packages; then, using webmin, installed MySQL-Max-3.23.49a-1.i386.rpm now it tell me, the MySQL-Max-3.23.49a is only an extension: ---- Optional MySQL server binary that supports features like transactional tables. To active this binary, just install this package after the MySQL package. ----- but, reading on mysql download page, implies, MySQL-Max-3.23.49a-1.i386.rpm is all I need... help.... so, at this time: accoriding to webmin I have: Packages matching mysql Package Class Description MySQL-Max 3.23.49a-1 Applications/Databases MySQL - server with Berkeley DB and Innodb support perl-DBD-MySQL 1.2215-1 Applications/CPAN A MySQL interface for perl php-mysql 4.0.4pl1-9 Development/Languages A module for PHP applications that use MySQL databases. ------ webmin says: MySQL Database Server The MySQL admin program /usr/bin/mysqladmin was not found on your system.
