Greetings. If these questions were answered before I apologize in advance.
I am trying to install MySQL on a new server that I got. Server is Red Hat 7.2 (not my choice), Dual P4 Xeon 2.8, 6 GB, 36GB Raid 5. Few questions I have: 1. What installation is recommended on such system. Binary, RPM, or compile from the source? If I compile from the source, will the compiled binary recognize and take advantage of the dual CPUs or I am just wasting my time? Also once installing from the source do I need to download and install the client, libraries and developer package just like I need in the RPM installation? Does that apply also to the binary installation. 2. I tried installing using the rpms, for some reason I get. DBI: connection failed cannot find mysql.sock (2) in web min. Checked that all the Perl modules are installed properly. After doing some research it seems that ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock Corrected it. And I have to apply. ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock Every time I stop and restart the MySQL server. Can anyone suggest how to correct this? I may be missing something basics, any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
