mysql_install_db locks after "Installing all prepared tables"
Hi, I'm having some trouble with mysql.. Running the mysql_install_db renders this... Preparing db table Preparing host table Preparing user table Preparing func table Preparing tables_priv table Preparing columns_priv table Installing all prepared tables At this point the script locks at this point & won't go any further. I am using MySQL-3.23.49a-1.i386.rpm MySQL-client-3.23.49a-1.i386.rpm Red Hat Linux version 2.2.16-22 The install (rpm --install) goes in fine - I don't have any trouble until I run the mysql_install_db script. I have tried several different mysql rpms - from Redhat - from mysql.org to no avail. There must be something simple I am overlooking - but I just can't seem to see the trees through the forest. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks!

Re: Hangs on Installing all prepared tables
You did not get an answer because you did not follow directions in how to post a problem report. We don't know what kernel you are running , and what compiler you are using. How did you install it? If from sources, and assuming the mysqlprefix was /usr/local/mysql: Make sure you have a mysql user in your /etc/password file. chown -R mysql /usr/local/mysql mysql_install_db --user=mysql Ryan Quick wrote: > > I'm sorry to write again, but I've gotten no response and I'm totally stuck. > > I'm trying to install the latest version of MySQL on a P3 running Redhat > 6.2.

Hangs on Installing all prepared tables
I'm sorry to write again, but I've gotten no response and I'm totally stuck. I'm trying to install the latest version of MySQL on a P3 running Redhat 6.2. When I run mysql_install_db, it hangs after it reports "Installing all prepared tables." I've tried setting different permissions and everything else I've found in the list archive, but nothing works. I've tried deleting everything, including the mysql user and re-making the user, and nothing. If anyone can tell me what's going on, or point me in the direction to a solution, I'd truly be grateful. I'm so frustrated.

Installing all prepared tables
After posting yesterday about mysql_install_db haning when it says "Installing all prepared tables" I've tried the rpm version, and it hangs in the exact same place. How do I get it to work? The other posts suggest that it's a permissions problem. If that's the case, what do my permissions need to be? I've tried setting various ownerships and privs and nothing works. I've also tried "scripts/mysql_install_db --user=mysql" and that doesn't work either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm about to tear all my hair out.

Red Hat 6.2 hangs on "Installing all prepared tables"
I'm having big problems installing MySQL 3.23.36 on Red Hat 6.2. I've read some other accounts of the same problem in the archives. I've tried all the fixes there and nothing works. I've tried removing all files and starting fresh, changing ownerships, privs, etc. What's happening and how do I fix it? Some people have said to make sure the privs and ownerships are right. What should they be? Could anything else be causing this?
