No, that means it ended, i.e., it's *not* running. If you look in the data directory (/var/lib/mysql on your system) there should be an error log (a file with a .err suffix). Does it contain any clues. When I did a PS i didnt see the server running in the background I assume it should show up as a process. Then when i issuied the following according to the post-install documentation to set intial privlidges it gave this error. [EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# mysqladmin -u root password 'star1234' Illegal instruction [EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# ./mysql -u root mysql Illegal instruction That's odd. Which RPM or RPMs did you install? (Please provide the *exact* names.) Im sure there is something simple i have missed but it keeps telling me that everything is an illegal instruction. Id appreicate any help if someone has encountered something similar. Any more information you need just tell me.
