Hi, I have just started out using MySQL and have had no end of trouble getting it started. I am running Redhat 7.2 and MySQL 3.23. I found that I had to modify my.cnf to point to the path /var/lib/mysql/mysql instead of just /var/lib/mysql. It still does not start however. The log file shows that the table 'mysql.host' does not exist. I have searched the system for this file but it does not exist anywhere. Therefore it cannot be another path issue. It seems that the install may note have created it. I installed it using RPM at the shell.
Any assistance here would be very appreciated. Thanks, Damien. _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
