Ye That Know, Short: Does YaST really install MySQL 'all-the-way', or do I now need to run 'make' and/or 'make install', or other similar commands?
Long: Previously <last week> I had installed MySQL using rpm as detailed in a SAMS book http://tinyurl.com/2pq27 It installed fine and worked ok - I connected, made a few tiny test DBs, etc —---------- I was having trouble with PHP and decided to reinstall everything using YaST I installed the latest versions of: flex mysql apache php In that order. —-- Now when I type 'mysql' I get: "ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock" When I type 'mysqld' I get: "Fatal Error: Please read "Security" section of the manual to find out how to run mysql as root!" (I'm root) I did look at the manual but didn't see specific root instructions. I also logged in as a non-root user and retried. It said the command was not found, which is odd because it is in /usr/sbin and is executable. —- Above I asked if YaST installs MySQL all-the-way because the directory 'mysql' is missing from /usr/local. Perhaps that is simply an install location difference between rpm and YaST. --- What do you guys think? I'm considering uninstalling MySQL with YaST and reinstalling with rpm.
