>Description:
I downloaded and installed the RPM from mysql.org (the uu.net mirror
in the USA). The transcript told me to set a root password using
/usr/bin/mysqladmin, but that program doesn't exist. I also am missing
other programs referred to in the documentation, such as /usr/bin/mysql
(the client). The documentation refers to /usr/local/mysql, but that
directory wasn't created. I simply can't find much correspondence between
the documentation and what I have.
Wait! Never mind. I installed the -client RPM and that contains
the /usr/bin/mysqladmin and other programs. All is well, now. However,
can I humbly suggest that your documentation should tell people to
install both before running any programs. It is odd to me that the
mysqladmin program is with the client RPM and not the server RPM ,
but as long as I know to install both, it doesn't matter.
>How-To-Repeat:
# rpm -ivh MySQL-3.23.53a-1.i386.rpm

PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
This is done with:
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h dudley.wellesley.edu password 'new-password'
See the manual for more instructions.
NOTE: If you are upgrading from a MySQL <= 3.22.10 you should run
the /usr/bin/mysql_fix_privilege_tables. Otherwise you will not be
able to use the new GRANT command!
Please report any problems with the /usr/bin/mysqlbug script!
