Re: MySQL installation with SuSE Linux 9.0 and YaST
Franz, it could not be easier. 1. install MySQL using Yast's software menu. 2. use the Yast run level editor to have MySQL up at run levels 3 and 5 and to start the application. 3. be root in a xterm window and type: mybox:~ # mysql ... and you will see: mysql here you are accessing a running system from the client. Use GRANT to set a password for root and to add new users. Where is the problem?

Unfortunately the MySQL-manual (which is a big document) does not give any guidelines for installing with YaST. Unfortunately you cannot use YaST to confiture MySQL. Although your may want the server to start at boot time and that is done in the System-Run Level Editor in YaST. After several times re- and de-installing mysql and also SuSE-Linux itself I still have troubles to get the server running. What kind of troubles? Probably this is the place this group can start to help you. Has anyone already done a MySQL-installation with SuSE Linux 9.0 and YaST? Is there any quick installation guide for this task? I think you have done all it could be done using YaST. You need now to jump into the documentation of MySQL. I will suggest that you read the tutorial in section 3 of MySQL's documentation.
