Hi guys and gals, I'm a complete newbie to mysql, so please bear with me.
Today I downloaded mysql4.0 binary distribution and installed it on my SuSE Linux 8.1 box. I've unzipped it and put it in: /usr/local/mysql-standard-4.0.14-pc-linux-i686 and I've created a symbolic link to give me /usr/local/mysql I then ran scripts/mysql_install_db (as root). The output was: ===================================================================== | |linux:/usr/local/mysql # ./scripts/mysql_install_db |Installing all prepared tables |030730 4:24:13 ./bin/mysqld: Shutdown Complete | | |To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy |support-files/mysql.server |to the right place for your system | |PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER ! |This is done with: |./bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password' |./bin/mysqladmin -u root -h linux password 'new-password' |See the manual for more instructions. | |NOTE: If you are upgrading from a MySQL <= 3.22.10 you should run |the ./bin/mysql_fix_privilege_tables.

I also tried the perl script run-all-tests, but it just reported mysql wasn't running ('Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)' when connecting to DBI:mysql:database=test;host=test;host=localhost with user: '' password: '') Can anyone help?
