Hello List: I have been learning MySQL. I have installed & tested MySQL server 3-4 times without problem. This time I used the an "alpha-nightly snapshot" and have run into problems.
My current Installation: ---------------------- LINUX RH9 Source Installaion: mysql-5.0.1-alpha-nightly-20040504.tar.gz DUAL Pentium 1GHz CPU 1.5 GB Memory Installation Procedure: ---------------------- I follow the installation procedure is as described in MySQL documentation & a doze of consulting MySQL by Paul DuBois book: % cd /usr/local % gunzip -dc mysql-5.0.1-alpha-nightly-20040504.tar.gz | tar xvf - % cd mysql-5.0.1-alpha-nightly-20040504 % ./configure -prefix=/usr/local/mysql % make % make install % scripts/mysql_install_db % chown -R mysqladm.mysqlgrp /usr/local/mysql/var % chown -R mysqladm.mysqlgrp /rad/var % chmod -R go-rwx /usr/local/mysql/var * It is a good idea to first see if the MySQL can be started: % /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe -user=mysqladm & % ps -aux | grep mysql There should be 4-5 lines showing how MySQL is running. Wonderful, MySQL is running. % reboot Setup to start MySQL automatically % cp /usr/local/<mysql Version No>/mysql.server /etc/init.d % cd /etc/init.d % chmod 500 mysql.server % chkconfig - -add mysql.server % reboot Check if MySQL is running: % ps -aux | grep mysql Problem: --------- Well, MySQL does not start automatically. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- As I said, I have used a similar installation script before without proble. This time, the only modifications made to the instalation script are: (1) Few hints from Paul DuBois book & (2) Different version of MySQL. Can somebody point me to the problem? Is in the script I am using is missing something? Kirti TIB P. O.
