But, following this thread, there appears to be some confusion. mysql_install_db sets up the initial tables for the mysql server. It won't do anything useful if you are installing only the client (ran `configure --without-server`). In fact, if it isn't there at all, that may be the reason.

I need help. I have followed your instructions. Here is my problem:

bash: scripts/mysql_install_db: No such file or directory
---------- Am I following the correct sequence? There is no directory "scripts"! In MySQL documentation, section 2.3.1 describes the Source Installation and that's what I am following.
I am struck here & since you have recently done it you may have a suggestion???????
Thanks.

Just went through this.
You need to install MySQL from source.
The basic commands you must execute to install a MySQL source
distribution are:
shell> groupadd mysql shell> useradd -g mysql mysql shell> gunzip < mysql-VERSION.tar.gz | tar -xvf - shell> cd mysql-VERSION shell> ./configure --without-server shell> make shell> make install
The ./configure --without-server only installs the client.
You need to read the doco about the source install to look for other options you may want.

Subject: RE: Client mySQL Server
First of all I admit that I am not an expert of MySQL. However, during the last three months I have TEST installed MySQL Server software and gone through the tutorial. My next step is to setup three computers as follows:
|--------------| |--------------| |--------------| | 12.21.237.10 | | 12.21.237.11 | | 12.21.237.12 | | freeRADIUS | | qmail/HTTP | | DataServer | |--------------| |--------------| |--------------| | | | |-----------------------------------|
My design is have run MySQL on data server and keep all data (sql) on this server. freeRADIUS server is for authentication and qmail/HTTP server is for mail and web pages.
I am told that I need to install MySQL client program on freeRADIUS &
qmail/HTTP servers and master MySQL on DataServer. I have not been able
to find either Client or Master MySQL but just MySQL! Is there a subset
of MySQL which is known as Client and/or Master MySQL or is it just
terminology?
Any help is highly appreciated.
