RE: installation problems on freebsd

2002-05-06 Thread Defryn NZ 

I have started all over again on a fresh Freebsd installation.
I have all the files in my /usr/local/mysql directory and I run
Scripts/mysql_install_db

After that I take the following action

$ chown -R root /usr/local/mysql
$ chgrp -R mysql /usr/local/mysql
$ chown  -R mysql /usr/local/mysql/data

Than something happens that I don't really understand

When I run bin/safe_mysqld -user=mysql 

The daemon starts followed by the message that mysqld ended.
This does not seem to happen when I run bin/safe_mysqld . I don't know the
difference but the service keeps on running with the latter

I have copied support-files/mysql.server to /usr/local/etc/rc.d (the startup
directory) but when I reboot I have to start mysqld manual again

The ./bin/mysqladmin -p password does not seem to let me update the
password.

Any ideas?

Cheers

That's really strange.  Starting a MySQL server shouldn't ever result
in it attempting to contact itself via /tmp/mysql.sock.  It sounds
like something is rather messed up in your configuration.

installation problems on freebsd

2002-05-04 Thread Defryn NZ 

I have been trying to install mysql on my freebsd box but it won't work.
When I use a freebsd package it works but it does not put it where I want
it. It seems like there is little control over it
The freebsd package is also an older version (3.23.42)

I have downloaded the binary for freebsd from the mysql website.
I followed the instructions from the o'reilly book ,the mysql manual and the
php/mysql web applications.

Everything seems to work until I run ./mysqladmin or I want to start mysql.

I get the error that /tmp/mysql.sock cannot be found. I can't see it there
either.
It was there when installed it as a package

Any ideas?


Guy
