I start from an up-to-date fedora core 4 (except that I've not rebooted lately, so I have newer kernels than I'm now running). This includes mysql-4.1.16-1.FC4.1.i386.rpm mysql-devel-4.1.16-1.FC4.1.i386.rpm mysql-server-4.1.16-1.FC4.1.i386.rpm mysqlclient10-3.23.58-6.i386.rpm
I'm trying to follow directions in http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/unix-post-installation.html Transcript: # su mysql bash-3.00$ cd /var/lib bash-3.00$ mysql_install_db Installing all prepared tables Fill help tables ERROR: 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1 060514 21:39:56 [ERROR] Aborting 060514 21:39:56 [Note] /usr/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown complete WARNING: HELP FILES ARE NOT COMPLETELY INSTALLED! The "HELP" command might not work properly To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy support-files/mysql.server to the right place for your system PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER ! To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands: /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password' /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h don-eve.dyndns.org password 'new-password' See the manual for more instructions. You can start the MySQL daemon with: cd /usr ; /usr/bin/mysqld_safe & You can test the MySQL daemon with the benchmarks in the 'sql-bench' directory: cd sql-bench ; perl run-all-tests Please report any problems with the /usr/bin/mysqlbug script! The latest information about MySQL is available on the web at http://www.mysql.com Support MySQL by buying support/licenses at https://order.mysql.com bash-3.00$ What's the error in syntax? I'm now simply following the directions above that say to use mysqlbug and tell you what I did. I can't tell for sure,but it looks like I'm supposed to just mail this buffer. That's another problem. I seem to be in emacs (not the right one) and not in a mail buffer ... I'll try to mail it anyway... >Description: <precise description of the problem (multiple lines)> >How-To-Repeat: <code/input/activities to reproduce the problem (multiple lines)> >Fix: <how to correct or work around the problem, if known (multiple lines)> >Submitter-Id: <submitter ID> >Originator: root >Organization: <organization of PR author (multiple lines)> >MySQL support: [none | licence | email support | extended email support ] >Synopsis: <synopsis of the problem (one line)> >Severity: <[ non-critical | serious | critical ] (one line)> >Priority: <[ low | medium | high ] (one line)> >Category: mysql >Class: <[ sw-bug | doc-bug | change-request | support ] (one line)> >Release: mysql-4.1.16 (Source distribution) >C compiler: i386-redhat-linux-gcc (GCC) 4.0.2 20051125 (Red Hat 4.0.2-8) >C++ compiler: i386-redhat-linux-g++ (GCC) 4.0.2 20051125 (Red Hat 4.0.2-8) >Environment: <machine, os, target, libraries (multiple lines)> System: Linux don-eve.dyndns.org 2.6.15-1.1831_FC4 #1 Tue Feb 7 13:37:42 EST 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Architecture: i686 Some paths: /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/make /usr/bin/gmake /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/cc GCC: Using built-in specs.
