SOTL wrote: Well I change the datadir in mysql-max and I have generated numerous versions of my.cnf directing MySQL to my desired directory each change causing MySQL refused to run. So I keep playing around with mysql-max and found that there is a second place where the config file does a test of the datadir so I changed that. At that point MySQL would open and did switch data directories. Continued to play with MySQL, making and deleting DB et. i.e. all the things a newbie does with a book and a new program. Then, I shut the box down for the night and went home. It is after all only a test box at this time but it is damn noise so to keep the piece down it goes. Anyway, firing it up the next afternoon I was amassed to discover that MySQL would not open with the same old error message that it could not find the data directory. I the reset the data directory to the original settings and MySQL again started working. So, there are at least 3 places that you MUST change the data directory at in configuration files in order to change the data directory. Best best is to do it by symbolic link as no newbie is going to figure out how to do it in configuration files. My only comment: How quaint, how 1950s that there exist programs in which one can not select the data directory. Frank PS. Thanks for the help. It is definitely appreciated. Frank, One thing to keep in mind, when changing things in the file in /etc/rc.d/init.d - You have to stop and restart MySQL before they take effect. The values in the script are only read at startup. You should probably learn about the service command. If you are using mysql, then you would run service mysql start to start it, service mysql stop to stop it, and service mysql restart to test your changes. If you use mysql-max, then use that in mlace of mysql in the service command. You may also be having a problem because on not understanding how the script works. Not every instruction in the script get run. It does tests, and if a value is set, then it skips part of the code. This is why you see references to /etc/my.cnf in the script, even though creating or changing this file has no affect on MySQL. This is because that part of the script does not get accessed on a Mandrake box. So you will want to be carefull aboout changing things in the script. The values that you would want to change are always at the beginning of the line, and normaly have a comment block before them.

As I know that I do not have the technical expertize to create a my.cnf file I would appreciate someone sending me a copy of a simple one that functions. Thanks Frank The mysql or mysql-max files are the scripts used to start mysql. There are a few config options in the file. The important one for your is the line: datadir=/var/lib/mysql If you want your mysql data someplace other then /var/lib/mysql, then you will need to chege this line. You will want to create a my.cnf file in this directory. It can be an empty file. The script fills in the missing entries with usable defaults.

[newbie] MySQL DB Connection to Open Office
Hi All Well I have ascertained that the principal reason that I am unable to connect to a DB using OO is that Java is not installed in OO. Java is installed on the computer but the OO-1.9 installation did not recognize this so now the first issue is how does one install Java into OO. Since there is a principal reason there must by necessity be as least one more reason which I am sorry to say is another installation issue of software into OO. It also appears that even though there are drivers for JDBC installed in OO-1.1 which is also installed on this box that OO-1.9 does not recognize these drivers existence so again the question is how does one go about installing these drivers into OO. The issue is not where to down load Java or the drivers or which Java and drivers are needed but in how to install both Java and the JDBC drivers. Would appreciate a little enlightnment of how one goes about making these installations. Thanks Frank Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

So, I open another .cnf file and edited to be identical by changing name-X within the [name-X] to [MYSQL] and then editing a linewith datadir= /dir/dir/file-name to datadir=/mnt/System_Data The final product was: file = /etc/my.cnf with contents of [MYSQL] datadir=/mnt/System_Data Then I tested it and it worked. I would not bother people on this list with this but it is not the first time it has happened. That is I type a configuration file check it re check it and it refuse to function then copy and edit a file from some other location edit it to where it is exact and I do mean exact equal the the one I created from the keyboard and it function correctly. Does anyone have any explanation why creating a new file from keyboard refuses to work and editing and existing file and saving it works? Frank Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] MySQL 4.1 doesn't start in 9.2, 10.0 and 10.1
Hi: I've worked with MySQL 4.1 since the alpha release (4.1.0). I always download the latest rpms from mysql.com and install them with rpm. Until version 4.1.4 every thing was just fine. However, when I tried to install 4.1.5 rpms in my fully updated Mandrake 10.0, I got an error telling me that mysql didn't have permissions to access /root/tmp. MySQL was installed but couldn't be started. Humm, something wrong with this rpms. I post a message in the mysql list and they told me to give, temporarily, 777 access to /root/tmp to start the service, which I did. The service started but I couldn't work with the database after settings /root/tmp permissions back to the original ones (700). I went back to install 4.1.4, which I had working before, and I got the same error. My conclusion was that something was wrong with my box. I modified the mysql init script in /etc/init.d to start mysql as user root and the database started working nicely. After that I installed 4.1.5 which is now working without problem. However, running mysql as root is not considered a good security practice. Then, one of my coworker, who uses Mandrake 9.2, told me that he was facing the same problem with 4.1.5. After modifying mysql init script as I did the data base started to work. Then I decided to go to a different computer and installed 10.1 CE. The same problem with mysql. Again, modifying mysql init script solved the situation. Decided to go deeper into it, I installed mysql in a box running Debian 3.0r2 using the generic Linux installer. No problem whatsoever. Then I tried installing mysql in 10.0 using the same binary and I got the same problem. BTW, Debian has no /root/tmp at all. At this point, I believe that there is something in Mandrake causing the problem but I have no idea where to start looking at. Can I just remove /root/tmp and try to start mysql again? Has anybody in this list tried to install MySQL 4.1.4 or 4.1.5 in 9.2 or 10 fully updated or in 10.1 CE without update? Can some body give me a hint about where the problem might be? Any help would be highly appreciated. Adolfo Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com

[newbie] MySQL 4.1 for Mandrake?
Dear all, Does anyone have tried to install MySQL 4.1 in Mdk 9.2? I have downloaded the rpm from mysql.com, but it seems that I can't use the rpm -Uvh option. So, I removed the previous version and installed the new one. The installation process complained about some thread number, but it proceeded. After it, when I tried to run the mysql server, it just stayed there, nothing showed in the log. Is there MySQL 4.1 package available from Mandrake (particularly mdk9.2)? Thanks, Fajar.

Re: [newbie] mysql
[root@rwideman2 root]# mysql -u root mysql ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO) It should ask you for a password here (note that it said using password: no). The only reason I know why it wouldn't do so is when you have somewhere defined to use an empty password. Have a look into ~/.my.cnf resp. /etc/my.cnf (if either exists) and look for a line like password= Nope. No files... Regardless, you can force the command to ask you for a password by adding -p: mysql -u root -p mysql WAHO, asked for password. WAHO I am in. [root@rwideman2 root]# mysql -u mysql mysql ERROR 1044: Access denied for user: '@localhost' to database 'mysql' Of course, some arbitrary user is not allowed to access the database where the access rights are stored (named mysql). But at least, it let you login. Ye, i was thinkin the password just got totally corrupted then i couldnt do anything the link i had up had on it...nothing worked. [root@rwideman2 root]# mysql --user=mysql Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Same as above, it let you login as user mysql, but you have no right to access the database mysql. This is my 2nd day (yesterday was my first) to mess with MySQLI am definitely on a learning curve with this. I tried the password editing options listed on http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Access_denied.html and still cant fix it. That you have missed the part about --skip-grant-tables apparently? Nope, i tried it, nogo. That is to be expected. Removing MySQL will not remove any database (in order to protect you from data loss) and the access rights are stored in a database. So you are working on the same databases with the same privilege settings. I figured this but wasnt for sure. What do you mean by that? The database *files* should be under /var/lib/mysql. That you have some DB is obvious by the fact that you once managed to login (without any database, you would get something like could not find file 'host.frm as error). Meaning i did NOT create a DB or do ANYTHING except change the root password within MySQL. Its the learning curve kicking in... I tried to verify the files that were installed by: The commands and results you quoted already show that apparently MySQL is installed correctly. You just have problems to login for whatever reason. But see the suggestions above. Is there away to completely remove mysql files and start over? If you de-install MySQL (via rpm) and then also do /var/lib/mysql, /etc/my.cnf and ~/.my.cnf, you should got everything MySQL-related. MMM, will keep this in mind, but dont need it now.

There are several possibilities, some of them depend on how recent your version of MySQL is. - You can try repairing the tables from the shell with myisamchk (be sure to stop mysqld beforehand), like this: myisamchk -r /var/lib/mysql/mysql/*.MYI If there are no files ending in .MYI, but only .ISM, use the following instead: isamchk -r /var/lib/mysql/mysql/*.ISM Usually you would use REPAIR TABLES from the mysql prompt (or some graphic utility), but since you have problems authenticating I won't go into depth about that. The (my-)isamchk solution only requires that you have the file privileges (i.e. that you can become root). Make sure that the files belong to the same user as they did beforehand, when you are done. - Alternatively you can start MySQL so that ignores the privileges tables at all. *Note that running it this will is a security risk*, depending on your configuration and you should keep the time running MySQL this way short. Using --skip-networking reduces this risk, because only connection from the localhost are allowed then. You have to start MySQL with --skip-grant-tables (or short: -Sg). You can start it using safe_mysql: /usr/bin/safe_mysql --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking If that makes problems, you can alternatively edit the MySQL startup-script /etc/init.d/mysql (don't forget to change it back afterwards). When you connect to MySQL after starting it this way, you have all privileges the MySQL root usually has. You can try the mentioned REPAIR TABLES, if you want (it will do the same as myisamchk) or you can make a dump of your data - something like mysqldump --opt your_database somefile should do. Then remove all files in /var/lib/mysql and use /usr/bin/mysql_install_db to setup the privilege tables from scratch. Then play in your dump with something like mysqladmin create your_database mysql your_databaes somefile Well, I'll stop for now. Hope that gets you along.

Re: [newbie] MySQL RPMS
Hi Michael... So far, I haven't had any luck figuring out what to do with MsSQL...the reason is that I left where the Linux box is...China!! I WAS supposed to install a help desk software that uses both MySQL and PHP for dynamic page updates and other cool features, but I never got that far. One of the "smart guys" there had a problem with understanding that I had a 99.98% hackerproof firewall installed and recommended that the group unplug it from the 'net which defeated the purpose of it's use and functionality. Not to mention 6 weeks of my effort (setting up 2 versions, 8 reloads, a web server, a secure shell server, an FTP and a secure FTP server, an NMS client, and a DHCP server for 2 ranges on 2 network cards, and of course the firewall system with NAT-MASQing for access to the Internet). Not a little issue to me. Anyhow, sorry to drown you in the gory details. There's much more out there to do for more appreciative groups than this one. I will attempt to do a duplicate install on a laptop and see what happens, but I expect results to vary considerably (but this is the only platform that I have access to at the moment). However the MySQL and the PHP information SHOULD be pretty generic, so I will let you know in a few days.

Re: [newbie] MySQL RPMS
Paul, One thing I tried is install it using the RPM manager and PHP did not recognize it. Ie., did not recognize any of the sql commands, ie., mysql_connect(). It did work on it's own, though. So, I took it out and tried manual install and ./config using the instructions. Same. Then I removed PHP and tried to reinstall it with MySQL support using the compile instructions, but it did not find support to MySQL even though I turned on the switch --with-mysql=/dir... (details escape me) but the ./config still crashed looking for the MySQL exececution files. So, still sql'less in seattle.
