To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: I need some help in MySql installation Description: I tried to install MySQL,version :- MySQL-3.23.52-1 using RPM which I downloaded from mysql website. I copied it in my root directory i.e. [root@FireWall2 /root] My machine name is FireWall2. My OS is Red hat Linux 7.1 with kernel version 2.4.2-2. >From that directory I gave commands # rpm -ivh MySQL-3.23.52-1.i386.rpm # rpm -ivh MySQL-client-3.23.52-1.i386.rpm # rpm -ivh MySQL-shared-3.23.52-1.i386.rpm After doing that it showed me installing MySQL on machine. So when I ran following command # rpm -q MySQL I got this MySQL-3.23.52-1 That means mysql is installed successfully. What is the step by step procedure for post Installation configuration of MySql server? I really do not know that...Could you pls. tell me! If I have done anything wrong pls. make me aware of that also. Following are the few commands I gave and also given is the corresponding message displayed on the screen. That could be helpful to you to analyse the case. 1. [root@FireWall2 init.d]# mysql ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO) 2. [root@FireWall2 bin]# mysqladmin -u root password 'PASSTHEWORD' mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)' 3. [root@FireWall2 bin]# mysqld --skip-grant-tables 020828 16:08:42 Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Address already in use 020828 16:08:42 Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ? 020828 16:08:42 Aborting 020828 16:08:42 mysqld: Shutdown Complete 4. My mysqld daemon is in directory /usr/sbin/ I tried to run it and gave me the following ... [root@FireWall2 sbin]# mysqld 020830 12:05:22 Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Address already in use 020830 12:05:22 Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ? 020830 12:05:22 Aborting 020830 12:05:22 mysqld: Shutdown Complete Kindly let me know where I am going wrong.
