Re: RPM Install appears to have failed

2002-10-03 Thread Chris Becker


Your right - Max is a server, thank you.

Directories you listed do not exist. That rpm is all honked up. Is there an 
UN-install flag for rpm? I would like to cleanly reverse what was done w/ 
the rpm and install from the binary, is this possible?  The workaround 
provided below does not seem to be tested, before I cause any more damage I 
would like to clean the orig install up, if it even did anything... Thanks.

   I'm trying to install MySQL MAX 3.23.52 (MySQL, with

   1. Check for installed MySQL...

Re: RPM Install appears to have failed

2002-10-03 Thread John Coder

Max is a server.
your install directory out of an RPM should be /var/lib/mysql if you are
root su to root and see if it's there. It should tell you this in
/usr/share/doc/packages/Mysql
thwere's a manual there or it should be.

Re: RPM Install appears to have failed

2002-10-03 Thread Chris Becker

Thanks Praveen,

So Max is not a server version, it sure is difficult to determine that on 
the download page:

MySQL database server & standard clients:
·   MySQL 3.23 -- Stable release (recommended) latest version is 3.23.52
·   ·   3.23 -- Default package (use this if you are unsure)
·   ·   3.23 Max -- Package with maximum features

Should I now download 3.23 (Default pkg) and run the rpm, how will this 
affect what happened on my server below? Is there a way to un-install the 
client and Max? Or should I just install 3.23 and all will be better?

Thanks again.

Chris

Re: RPM Install appears to have failed

2002-10-03 Thread Praveen kumar

Hi,

Where is the Mysql-server version. you have installed
only client and mysql-max, but no mysql-server. Use
rpm -Uvh for your installations, so that you can
easily know the progress of installation.

RPM Install appears to have failed

2002-10-02 Thread Chris Becker


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.
