Re: Data Directory

2001-06-13 Thread Gabriele Bartolini

Ciao!

I am new to both Linux and MySQL. I used the source to
compile MySQL on Linux 7.0 with the default options.
It's working fine.

What's Linux 7.0? :-)

But can i change the data directory where all the
databases are stored to something other than the
default, without having to compile again?

Well, you could use a symbolic link, if you don't wanna compile it. 
Otherwise, which is better and wiser, just put this line in the /etc/my.cnf 
file.

[mysqld]
datadir=/usr/local/mysql/var

Obviously, change the path! ;-)

Thanks a lot,

But another problem. I did the changes in my.cnf and restarted mysql. It
stops immediately, shows the following:

Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /base1
010613 14:22:38  mysqld ended

But when I changed the 'datadir' values in the my.cnf back to the default
directory, it works fine.

Any idea what the problem is?

Did you move the contents of the older datadir in /base1? Let me know ...

Help with tuning connections!

2001-06-11 Thread Gabriele Bartolini

Ciao guys,

I am using MySQL 3.23 on a Linux with Apache/PHP. Last week I first run 
it, and had a 'too many connections' warning. So, I just set the 
max_connections variable to 200. And since then, no problem.

Here is the /etc/my.cnf file under the [mysqld] group:

set-variable=key_buffer=16777216
set-variable=max_connections=200
set-variable=table_cache=2048

I want to ask you if there's a way to keep this under control. I mean. 
What should I do to do this? I use to give a look at the status and 
extended-status with mysqladmin, but are there any attributes I should keep 
an eye on?

And, why does max_used_connections always says: 100? Kinda weird, isn't it?

Ciao and thanks!

Re: [beginner] How to update mysql with Linux ?

Hi all,
I'd like to update my version of Mysql on linux.
How can I do it so that I don't have two copies of mysql on my machine ?
Do I have to clean up the folder mysql and then install the new version 
under it?

I suggest you to dump all of the database you are interested in, first of 
all. That's pretty easy, just run mysqldump for every db.

And what should I download -the source code or the binaries- in order to
update the starting scripts under /etc/rc.d/init.d ?

It depends on which version you have already installed. Do you use RPMs or 
source code? And, which version of MySQL do you have?

However, you could also write me in italian ... but I guess personally, 
otherwise nobody will understand! :-)

Re: installation problem

2001-06-08 Thread Gabriele Bartolini


/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES)'

Ciao Michela,

unless you changed the 'user' table contents, you could easily connect 
to every db as root without providing any password. What's the command line 
you typed? Can you connect with 'mysql'?

As root, type this:

  mysql mysql
  select * from user;

and give a look at the host, user and password fields.

Hope this helps!

Ciao

RE: Compiling an PHP 4.0 module with MySQL

2001-06-08 Thread Gabriele Bartolini


 ./configure --with-mysql=/usr/bin --with-apxs --enable-track-vars

Ciao,

sorry but I just joined this mailing list, so I am not aware of any 
previous messages.

/usr/bin ?

Why in that directory?

Can I please get to know how did you install MySQL? By RPM?

Please try these 2 find commands?

find / -name mysql.h(in my system it's under /usr/include/mysql/)
find / -name libmysqlclient.*(in my system it's under 
/usr/lib/mysql/lib/)

The latest RPM version comes with this prefix: /usr (so just put 
--with-mysql=/usr )

Let me know!

Hope this helps!
