Perl was installed from my RedHat 6.2 install media, I remember a problem of installing MySQL using the binaries would cause conflicts with a rpm installed Perl. That is what someone in this newsgroup told me about a year ago. Is this true?
I couldn't get the MySQL to install with the RPM's. Is it safe to install using the binary version of MySQL, will I encounter any problems using Perl to access the database with the Perl(rpm) & MySQL(binary) versions? Will I need to re-install Perl Thanks Chris Previous Post, no answer yet: To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RPM Install appears to have failed Date Sent: 10/2/02 RedHat6.2 install (everything) out of box on Intel 1 proc server 256mb ram. Downloaded 3.23.52-1 rpm & client rpm to /usr/loca/tmp - i created the tmp folder as root and chmod 777 Followed the install instructions - which only included: To perform a standard minimal installation, run: shell> rpm -i MySQL-VERSION.i386.rpm MySQL-client-VERSION.i386.rpm (No user or group or environment setup instructions before running rpm's???) So logged in as root I executed the following, and got the result below [root@plinux tmp]# rpm -i MySQL-Max-3.23.52-1.i386.rpm MySQL-client-3.23.52-1.i386.rpm Giving mysqld a couple of seconds to restart var/tmp/rpm-tmp.10346: /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql: No such file or directory Was this successful? Where did mysql install to? The post installation steps say to: shell> ./scripts/mysql_install_db shell> cd mysql_installation_directory shell> ./bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql & cd_mysql_installation_directory - where the heck did it install at? don't think this happened... thanks in advance.
