installation nightmare
I feel like one big fat stupid sheep problem SOLVED... It turns out that the root of all the problems was my own little forgetful brain... I had forgotten that I had changed the permissions on the apache22/data files to 766 which prevented the execution of all the php scripts which snowballed into incorrect readings of info.php and a whole bunch of stuff. Now, apache22, mysql, php, phpMySql, etc. etc. all work fine as out of the box Thanks for all the input from everyone and Happy Holidays to all :-[ :-! :-X -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org

Thank you for listening... :-) You installed MySQL 6.0.8, an Alpha release on to what seems like a production box Sorry to disappoint you, but I am an overzealous amateur with Unix in general. I think the thinking behind it all is fabulous; it's just that, I find, there is a kind-of smugness in the community about the systems and software: people assume that we amateur-idiots are supposed to know more than we do. I really do not like the idea of having to read through all the documentation of any program until I need to get into the details - most software, like Cups and Salmba are set up once and thereafter one need not even think about it; generally it works without problem. No, I have the setup strictly locally for my own pleasure and enlightenment and to help me with the creation and, sometimes, development of a website by more qualified people working for me... now, I'm just trying to help out my daughter to update her egyptology site (www.ptahhotep.com) with a database. and now you are having trouble getting other versions to work? Well this isn't going to be very helpful but I guess you are learning the hard way why you never install alpha software onto anything other than a box which you rely on only to collect dust. You're right... :-) - but it is helpful. I didn't realize that this was an alpha until I deinstalled... ok, ok, that's my fault... Seems to me the box you are working on is pretty messed up with Apache, Php and MySQL all having problems. Restore a backup from before it got messed up so you know you have a working base then try again one piece of software at a time. Other than the backup, which was not necessary, as this is a fresh install of FreeBSD7.0, I did exactly that: I deinstalled, deleted stray files and anything I could find related to MySQL, PHP5, phpMyAdmin, and even Webmin. I then updated the Ports files and started to reinstall everything. Well, I thought that would fix things... ehhh, no; not only did it not work, there was another wrench that was dropped by php5.2.8 - it is broken and phymyadmin cannot be installed and setup. Soo, as we say in French: rebelotte! - or in English back to square 1. So, now I am just rying to set up MySQL - first try, to start the server was a system freeze because I went for a directive from the Documentation. To tell you the truth, I have never done backups on the FreeBSD installations - the reasoning is quite simple... if it fails, I have backed up the work files and anything of importance on other machines and reinstallaing the OS and programs is not a big deal - at least, it never has been; until now. I have had a couple of crashes but it has exclusively been due to HDDs failing. Even on the last failure I was able to salvage all important files without any great problems. Other than that, as you are struggling with MySQL, PHP and Apache but are happy with commercial software offerings then go with what you are happy with. Get a copy of SQL Server and IIS. Everyone has there own preference and you have to go with what you are most comfortable and productive with. For me its Oracle10g/MySQL5 on Fedora, for you I'm sure its something totally different. What you don't want to do is try something you are not comfortable with, mess it up and then go onto a user group blaming the software particularly when its such an established piece of software as MySQL which can proudly boast millions of working installs spread across probably every conceivable platform. I couldn't agree more. For example, I have more problems with MS Office than you can imagine... OpenOfficeOrg is fabulous ... Only problem is the compatibility with MS files is the macros, but I don't often need them. Thats my rant for the day, now as its gone 1am Im off to bed. Sweet dreams, and have a nice holiday.

Re: installation nightmare
First of all, you are using a ports distribution system from BSD which means that you are not dealing with MySQL directly but with a BSD API layer on top of MySQL for installation. So much of your issues may end up being a BSD problem, not a MySQL problem at all. If the BSD scripts that are supposed to keep your fingers out of the installation gears are confusing you when you read the MySQL instructions that tell you how to turn the cranks without getting your fingers in the gears, then maybe you need to stop and find docs that are specific to BSD install of MySQL or install from source which matches the docs. That said, it sounds like you skipped the step about flush privileges And, once you set the root password, you need to add -p to mysql (and others) to ask it to prompt you for your password. It would help a great deal if you could more clearly document what you did, and where things FIRST went wrong, and STOP THERE and post instead of moving forward and then rambling on about how bad everything is and dumping several different issues into a giant rant. It makes it very difficult for anybody to help you when you do that. Also makes people less likely to WANT to help you, which is an even bigger issue. :-) There is no need to start/stop the server, but you MUST flush the privileges after you change them. Or, if you prefer, swat the fly with a cannon and stop/start the server. :-) -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org
Re: installation nightmare
Take a look at the online documentation, it will give you all the info you could dream of regarding error files, installation procedures and configuration issues. I have never installed MySQL on Freebsd so can't help you there but I have installed it on Redhat, Centos, Solaris, windows and Mac with the utmost ease and I really cannot see the FreeBSD install being anything different. Sounds like you have a lot of other software issues too, maybe you should look at the problems of the system as a whole! If something refuses to install its usually a fault with the system / software configuration you are trying to install too and rarely a fault with the installation procedure itself.

Re: installation nightmare
Hi PJ, To be quite honest you may have better luck downloading and installing MySQL yourself. It's very rare I install anything from the ports on FreeBSD or apt repositories on Debian, simply because you have little (if any) control over what goes on. At least if you do it yourself you know how you're setting the system up. That's just from personal experience. Download the FreeBSD binary from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.1.html, and extract it somewhere on your system (e.g. /tmp.) Follow the instructions in http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/installing-binary.html which explains in full detail what to do and why you're doing what you're doing. Just in case you're wondering, your problems with 5.1.30 appear to be that the data directory it's trying to use (/var/db/mysql) is from a pre-5.1 server (and you need to run mysql_upgrade to correct it, but this requires an up-and-running system in the first place.) Your second issue is that InnoDB does not have permissions to create files in this directory. Check the owner/group MySQL is trying to run as has access to /var/db/mysql.
