I was able to successfully install MySQL server 4 under windows, but am a little confused about doing it through linux.
My main confusion is where the install goes? Im using the rpm, and from my personal directory where i downloaded the rpm to, i issue a rpm -i MySQL-server-...rpm command and it goes through its deal. The very first thing I notice is it says is to execute /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root... to set the passwords. Well there are about a dozen mysql scripts in that directory but no mysqladmin, so immediately Im thinking i have a problem or did something wrong. Next it says the default directory for the install is /usr/local/mysql unless i specified otherwise. I did not and that directory does not exist. so what happened? i downloaded the rpm off the mysql site and all i did was run it. didnt touch anything else. it installs the mysql service fine, and it puts all its db files in the /var/lib directory like it says it will, but it sure seems like im missing some other critical files? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
