Are you using RPM or installing from source, i.e. running make? Also if you need to find where files are located change to root directy " cd / " then type " find -name mysql " that will get you started as to where your mysql files are located. The find command is very helpful when searching for files, its very similar to windows start menu search utility. Just make sure you change to the most parent directory to run the search, as find traverses from the Present Working Directory " PWD " forward. Also the best doc I have found is on the mysql.com site itself: http://www.mysql.com/doc/ You will find everything you need there... Good Luck and Welcome to Linux.

I downloaded the file from mysql.com to my servers hard drive and now want to install it. I right-clicked the installation file and clicked install. It appears to have installed something, but I can't find it. I looked in the /var/lib directories and don't see anything. Though the installation steps are covered somewhat on mysql.com, I'm still having problems as I'm totally new to linux. Any documented steps from a newbie's perspective or something simple would be really helpful. Any help is appreciated. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
