RE: Installation Question
Dan: Thank you fast reply on New Year Day. The only reason I was trying to install the source distribution because it is supposed to be optimized!! Is binary distribution is also optimized or it makes no difference? I personally prefer binary myself. I will wait for a response before I start all over again. Thanks again.

However, you need to know exacly what are the compiler flags to optimize it. If you run on x86, you are better of with the binary or the .rpm. No offense, but people who compile at mysql are a lot better than you and me to get the best flags. hth Ugo Is binary distribution is also optimized or it makes no difference?

Re: Installation Question - RedHat 9.0
For RedHat, just download the rpms and install it, it's far much simpler... Nicolas - Original Message - From: Ryan Sinnwell [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2003 1:21 PM Subject: Installation Question - RedHat 9.0 I am trying to setup Jabberd2 as a test for our IT users and have run into a few issues. Here is a link to the instructions I'm following: http://www.jabberdoc.org/app_mysql.html I know there are things missing because after I complete the make install in step A.4.6, it goes right on to have me change the root password, but mysqld isn't even running at this point. Could someone that has installed mySQL many times give these a look and see what steps they have left out that I will need for RedHat 9.0? One other step that doesn't appear to be correct is A.4.9 because /usr/local/var/mysql/ does not even exist after the install as they describe it. Also, if I want mysqld to start every time the computer is booted, and use the mysql user that I created per these instructions, is this what I would add to rc.local: /usr/local/libexec/mysqld --user=mysql Is rc.local the correct file to put this in or is there a better place? Any help that is provided will be much appreciated. Thanks! -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

M Now that they have reinstalled I can not access mysqladmin in the shell. M I cannot even do a shutdown. No one not even root can shutdown the MYSQL M server. I did the test in the manual to see if the server can connect: M Shell mysql-u root testIt comes back with the server unable to M connect. Unable to connect is a too short error message. What is the full message? M In the user table there are three users with all permissions M (one of them is root) none of the three users are able to do a shutdown M or any of the permissions that are in the table. It comes back with M access denied and password = No It means that you didn't used password when you tried to connect. So, if you want to connect to the MySQL server you should use: mysql -uuser_name -ppassword or for mysqladmin: mysqladmin -uuser_name -ppassword command You can find description of syntax at: http://www.mysql.com/doc/m/y/mysql.html http://www.mysql.com/doc/m/y/mysqladmin.html M but it is Y in the user table. What M needs to be done? I can with all three users leave the shell and it will M accept the passwords and I can go into mysql and do SQL queries fine.

Re: INSTALLATION QUESTION on Cobalt Raq3
Don't use RPM. The RPMs for the Cobalt RaQ3 suck. I have 8 different Cobalt RaQ3's and here's the way I've used to install: I've installed it this way successfully each time. Sounds like a bit of a pain, but puts you in much better control of MySQL. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS #1 - download the newest MySQL *source* tarball from mysql.com or its mirrors. Do all the following stuff as "root" user: ## UNTAR IT tar -xvfz mysql-#.#.tar.gz ## - FIRST: TO MAKE A USER NAME 'mysql' GROUP NAME 'mysql' TO SAFELY RUN MYSQL UNDER /usr/sbin/groupadd mysql /usr/sbin/useradd mysql -g mysql ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --with-mysqld-user=mysql --with-lz make make install ## - SET THE DATA DIRECTORY TO BE /VAR/DB - MAKE A SYMLINK FOR IT HERE IN THE MYSQL FOLDER cd mysql ln -s /var/db var ## - INSTALL THE BASIC DATABASE NEEDED TO RUN bin/mysql_install_db ## - if there's a problem, do the next step then come back and do this step again. ## - GO SET PERMISSIONS FOR THE DATA DIRECTORY cd /var chown mysql:mysql -R db chmod 700 -R db ## - COPY THE STARTUP/INIT/CONFIG FILES TO THE RIGHT PLACE cd share/mysql cp mysql.server /etc/rc.d/init.d/ cp my-small.cnf /var/db/my.cnf ## - PUT STARTUP FILES IN EVERY STARTUP FOLDER - so if they reboot the server, MySQL starts! cd /etc/rc.d/init.d/ chmod 755 mysql.server cd ../rc3.d ln -s ../init.d/mysql.server S88mysql cd ../rc4.d ln -s ../init.d/mysql.server S88mysql cd ../rc6.d ln -s ../init.d/mysql.server K18mysql cd ../rc0.d ln -s ../init.d/mysql.server K18mysql ## - SYMLINK THE COMMANDS INTO THE PATH SO WE CAN JUST TYPE "mysql" FROM ANYWHERE cd /usr/bin ln -s /usr/local/mysql/bin/* ./ cd /usr/sbin ln -s /usr/local/mysql/bin/* ./ ## - START IT! safe_mysqld mysqladmin -u root -p password 'somesecretpassword' mysql -u root -p use mysql; delete from user where user=''; exit; from now on, connect to mysql with 'mysql -u root -p' then type the magic password afterwards.
