Hi everyone... I have a problem, but maybe not related to mysql itself, for i have installed a RPM first, then deleted it, then tried the 4.0.5, then tried the 3.23.54, and still have the same problem... So here's the story....
Regarding the 3.23.54 install. I downloaded the source tar.gz... Put it in my home directory and typed : tar xzvf mysql.... then ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql then make after this, as root, make install cd /usr/local/mysql ./bin/mysql_install_db chown -R mysql var chgrp -R mysql . then ./bin/safe_mysqld -u mysql & but here's the first problem : ./bin/safe_mysqld: 5: command not found still, mysql seems to be running despite this error. But when trying to assign root a password, I can set it with mysqladmin -u root password 'myownpass', but can't set the mysqladmin -u root -h myhost.mydomain.mytld password 'myownpass'... the error is : ./bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'myhost.mydomain.mytld' failed error: 'Can't connect to MySQL server on 'myhost.mydomain.mytld' (111)' Check that mysqld is running on myhost.mydomain.mytld and that the port is 3306. You can check this by doing 'telnet myhost.mydomain.mytld 3306' when i go telnet on the box, i get a connexion refused.... so i thought that i could explicitly open the 3306, but it didn't changed anything. I created a my.cnf within which i have : [client] port = 3306 socket = /tmp/mysql.sock # The MySQL server [mysqld] port = 3306 socket = /tmp/mysql.sock skip-locking set-variable = key_buffer=16M set-variable = max_allowed_packet=1M set-variable = thread_stack=128K datadir = /usr/local/mysql/var # Start logging log [mysqldump] quick set-variable = max_allowed_packet=16M [mysql] no-auto-rehash [isamchk] set-variable = key_buffer=16M So my question is, does anybody sees why i have these errors ?.... I run with a RH7.3 TIA Stephane --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
