http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/html/stepbystep.html#install-mysql The part about adding mysqld to your init scripts just means you should ensure mysqld starts whenever your machine boots. Depending on how you installed MySQL, this may already be set up for you. If not, the following page of the MySQL documentation contains more information about how to do this: http://mysql.com/doc/A/u/Automatic_start.html The part about changing the value of the max_allowed_packet parameter may also be unnecessary. The last time I installed MySQL (from an RPM), the parameter was already set to 1M by default. Execute the following command to discover the value of this parameter: mysqladmin variables If it isn't 1M (or more), fix this by adding the following line to your my.cnf file: set-variable = max_allowed_packet=1M See the following pages of the MySQL manual for more info about this parameter and the my.cnf file: http://www.mysql.com/doc/S/H/SHOW_VARIABLES.html http://www.mysql.com/doc/O/p/Option_files.html Note that the value of this parameter limits the size of attachments that can be attached to bug reports in Bugzilla, and 1M stands for 1 megabyte (MB). If you expect users to submit larger attachments, increase the value of this parameter. -myk --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
