mysql-standard-4.0.15-pc-linux-i686.tar.gz
groupadd mysql
useradd -g mysql mysql
unzipped mysql-standard-4.0.15.pc-linux-i686.tar.gz in /usr/local/mysql directory
/usr/local/mysql/scripts/mysql-(install_db
chow -R root
chown -R mysql data
chgrp -R mysql
these are all the steps outlined for installing
as I understand I should be able to execute mysql as follows
[root@localhost bin]# ./safe_mysqld user=mysql &
[1] 2322
[root@localhost bin]# Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql
030926 16:24:30 mysqld ended
[1]+ Done ./safe_mysqld user=mysql
it seems to run and then automaticly end ?
then there is the method to start the server
[root@localhost support-files]# ./mysql.server start
Can\'t execute ./bin/mysqld_safe from dir /var/lib
I\'ve tried installing from a rpm with no luck so I turned to trying to install and run from the binary, besides the binary is a newer versiton that what I\'ve found in the rpm format.
anyone
thank you
