As you can see, there is only server related stuff installed, there is not client and administration stuff installed. On Tue, 2004-02-17 at 18:04, Ross O wrote: So I need to install the client as well as the server? I thought I read on the MySQL site that I only need the server for a single user, single computer database? Most probably yes, however i must mention one thing, you can perfectly install the server (and only) the server in a linux machine, that would be the server machine, and administer it remotly, that can be a perfectly normal situation. The server packages contains only the service files, the binaries needed for a working mysql-server, on the other side, the client-file contains administration utilities and client files (a command line utilities called mysql - like oracle's plsql, for example; and the mysqladmin wich you can use to administer the server) So, it's up to you friend, you can have a linux-mysql server with only server related stuff installed and access it and manage it remotly (from yout windows desktop, as an example) using any gui tool you want; or, you can install the client files also, and manage your server via the command line and locally in your server. Any of the two are perfectly fine options, most people here will tell you (i guess) that we use both options, i mean; a remote, nice, gui utility and the command line tool :) As an extra, may i recommend some tools? 1.- mysql administrator is a brand new tool to administer and monitor a mysql server, it runs just fine in win and lin, it's free, and directly supported by mysql. You can download it from mysql site 2.- dbtools is a mysql administration and design tool by a few very nice brazilian guys it works only on windows, and also support PostgreSQL. You can download the basic-free version from the www.dbtools.com.br site. 3.- the mysql command line tools is indeed very nice, despite being a command line tool, is my favorite tool and is VERY good excuse to really learn about sql and mysql command syntax, very nice also to prepapre for the certification :) Hope this helps!

Installation Confusion in Linux
I was able to successfully install MySQL server 4 under windows, but am a little confused about doing it through linux. My main confusion is where the install goes? Im using the rpm, and from my personal directory where i downloaded the rpm to, i issue a rpm -i MySQL-server-...rpm command and it goes through its deal. The very first thing I notice is it says is to execute /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root... to set the passwords. Well there are about a dozen mysql scripts in that directory but no mysqladmin, so immediately Im thinking i have a problem or did something wrong. Next it says the default directory for the install is /usr/local/mysql unless i specified otherwise. I did not and that directory does not exist. so what happened? i downloaded the rpm off the mysql site and all i did was run it. didnt touch anything else. it installs the mysql service fine, and it puts all its db files in the /var/lib directory like it says it will, but it sure seems like im missing some other critical files? __ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: Installation Confusion in Linux
Ross, rpm -qlp package_name.rpm will list all the files in an rpm for you. You may need to install the client rpm as well. walt Ross O wrote: I was able to successfully install MySQL server 4 under windows, but am a little confused about doing it through linux.
