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?
