I had a similar experience right down to the error message you are getting. Based on that experience, I am inclined to recommend the following:
1) Abandon your current installation which I perceive that your are attempting from a MySQL tarball. 2) Download the webmin-1.030 tarball and execute ./setup.sh after exploding the tarball with tar -xzvf webmin-1.030.tar.gz . 3) Download the RPMs for MySQL instead of the tarball you are now using. 4) Use webmin to install the RPMs. This was much easier for me. GL >>> Lefevre, Steven <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 12/12/02 03:17PM >>> I'm still getting the error 'Can't find hosts.frm' when I try to laund the mysql daemon. I've run the mysql_install_db script several times. I've changed the user and group ownership for all the files in the /usr/libexec/mysql directory, and also in /var/lib/mysql to 'mysql' (it was 'root'). (RPM installed it originally in /var/lib/mysql, I copied it to /usr/libexec/mysql just in case that's where is was looking. That's where th mysqld was, and the error said "can't find ./hosts.frm".) Any ideas? ls -la /var/lib/mysql/ total 120 drwxr-xr-x 4 mysql mysql 4096 Dec 12 15:03 . drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 Dec 6 10:07 .. ... -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 1024 Dec 6 11:10 func.MYI -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 8958 Dec 6 11:10 host.frm -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 0 Dec 6 11:10 host.MYD ... ls -la /usr/libexec/mysql total 116 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec 11 15:30 . drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Dec 11 15:28 .. ... -rw-r----- 1 mysql mysql 1024 Dec 11 15:29 func.MYI -rw-r----- 1 mysql mysql 8958 Dec 11 15:29 host.frm -rw-r----- 1 mysql mysql 0 Dec 11 15:29 host.MYD ... --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
