RE: Installing MySQL on Linux, HELP!
I have had some help on my mysql install woes, and here's the latest. rpm -qa | grep MySQL - this just hung and never returned anything (see below) # service mysqld start or # service mysql start - these just returned a new command prompt, so couldn't tell whether or not they worked. I checked my processes and never saw mysqld. I put in 'whereis mysql', and this returned: /usr/bin/mysql /user/lib/mysql /user/share/mysql /user/share/man/man1/mysql.1.gz I was going to output a new list of installed packages to ensure that mysql was in there, but rpm -qa | ./installed_packages doesn't seem to work at the moment...I can't restart the server right now, so perhaps I could kill and restart some process? However, this is from yesterday's output: postgresql-libs-7.3.4-3.rhl9 postgresql-7.3.4-3.rhl9 mysql-3.23.58-1.9 mysql-server-3.23.58-1.9 postgresql-server-7.3.4-3.rhl9 Thanks, Eve -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I was going to output a new list of installed packages to ensure that mysql was in there, but rpm -qa | ./installed_packages doesn't seem to work at the moment...I can't restart the server right now, so perhaps I could kill and restart some process? However, this is from yesterday's output: The RPM database can become corrupted, causing the rpm -qa to hang. To rebuild the database follow the following instructions: ps -ef |grep rpm - kill all rpm processes rm -rf /var/lib/rpm/__db* rpm --rebuild You should then be able to query the rpms.

RE: Installing MySQL on Linux, HELP!
After some trouble with rpm, I managed to create a file of installed packages. Redhat 9 says I have installed: MySQL-client-4.0.1-2 perl-DBD-MySQL-2.1021-3 mysql-3.23.58-1.9 mysql-server-3.23.58-1.9 And I am not having any luck with these...starting them, installing them, compiling them. I have read manuals, taken advice, but nothing comprehensive to get things to work. I would prefer to install a version of at least 4 for a server. Any help is appreciated!

And then Eve said... After some trouble with rpm, I managed to create a file of installed packages.

I'm repeating myself here from my email to you directly last evening, but I'd use the very clear, very accurate manual to build and install from source given at http://www.InternetSecurityGuru.com. Everything in that manual, related especially to MySQL, works just as documented. And I am not having any luck with these...starting them, installing them, compiling them. I have read manuals, taken advice, but nothing comprehensive to get things to work. I would prefer to install a version of at least 4 for a server. The manual uses 4.0.16 but you could substitute whatever version you'd like. Any help is appreciated! Help was given. You refused it. Thanks, Eve BTW, at a MySQL training course I attended, the instructor advised _NOT_ to go the rpm route. dave
