I am trying to install MySQL 3.23 to Solaris 2.8. After the step -> scripts/mysql_install_db I try the command -> chown -R root, error show "usage: chown [-fhR] owner[:group] file..." and the command -> chrgrp -R mysql, error show "chgrp [-fhR] group file..."
$ man chown $ man chgrp
you would do something like this ?
# chown -R mysql:mysql /path/to/your/file_or_directory
oops,
