1st time to install mysql on linux...
Posted: Mon Nov 28, 2005 11:17 pm
and it was a nightmare.
mysql's documentation didn't do a bit of good for me either... but then again i'm a linux newb so what do i know.
anyways, safe_mysqld --user=mysql & saved my life.. 3 hours straight of trying to get this @#*&! RPM to work.. jeez...
in case anyone runs across the issue of this :
for me, it was located in the /usr/bin/
Using suse 10
good times...

in case anyone runs across the issue of this :
anderror: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' exists!./mysqladmin start
or after running mysql_install_db you getFatal error: Please read "Security" section of the manual to find out how to run mysqld as root!

the solution is just to throw your computer in the garbage and go to bed for the night... or just run safe_mysqld --user=mysql &Cannot resolve host ''
blah blah blah use msyqld, blahblahblah use mysqladmin blah blah blah
for me, it was located in the /usr/bin/

good times...
