All, I am looking for a stepwise installation of mysql-3.23.58 on Redhat 9. and have a hard time finding it on the MySql web site. Could someone e-mail me the steps, please. There should also be a section on installing databases, in order to make sure that MySql is running and is operational Thanks, P.S as a sample, i am providing the following, which is good, but still not complete.
Get the sourceballs MySQL current version: 3.23.58 URL: http://www.mysql.com/downloads/ <http://www.mysql.com/downloads/> ... Change into the MySQL source directory as follows; #cd mysql-4.0.16 Follow this command by typing; #./configure -prefix=/usr/local/mysql -localstatedir=/usr/local/mysql/data -disable-maintainer-mode -with-mysqld-user=mysql -enable-large-files-without-debug #make #make install MySQL is installed, #/usr/sbin/groupadd mysql #/usr/sbin/useradd -g mysql mysql #./scripts/mysql_install_db Then we make a couple minor ownership changes; # chown -R root:mysql /usr/local/mysql # chown -R mysql:mysql /usr/local/mysql/data we use vi to add a line the ld.so.conf file as follows; #vi /etc/ld.so.conf And we add the following line; /usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql #/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe -user=mysql & #/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root password new_password Kamal Ahmed Sr. Test Engineer e-Security, Inc.
