Description:
MYSQL INSTALLATION
[My writing is in bold, the terminal output is in plain]
i basically have the doubt where i should install. i have unzipped it in /home/aruljose/db/.
i have one more doubt : should client and server be downloaded separately and both be installed or server alone is enough?
i tried to install mysql, downloaded the following file.
mysql-standard-4.1.12-pc-linux-gnu-i686.tar
unzipped it to get the folder 'mysql-standard-4.1.12-pc-linux-gnu-i686'
Then i ran the executable - 'configure'
[aruljose@aruljose mysql-standard-4.1.12-pc-linux-gnu-i686]$ ./configure
NOTE: This is a MySQL binary distribution. It's ready to run, you don't
need to configure it!
To help you a bit, I am now going to create the needed MySQL databases
and start the MySQL server for you. If you run into any trouble, please
consult the MySQL manual, that you can find in the Docs directory.
Installing all prepared tables
Fill help tables
To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy support-files/mysql.server
to the right place for your system ## doubt: what could this right place be?
PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands: ## doubt: where to issue?
./bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
./bin/mysqladmin -u root -h aruljose password 'new-password'
See the manual for more instructions.
You can start the MySQL daemon with:
cd . ; ./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 ./bin/mysqlbug script!
The latest information about MySQL is available on the web at
http://www.mysql.com

Starting the mysqld server. You can test that it is up and running
with the command:
./bin/mysqladmin version
[aruljose@aruljose mysql-standard-4.1.12-pc-linux-gnu-i686]$ Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /home/aruljose/db/mysql-standard-4.1.12-pc-linux-gnu-i686/data
Then i tried to invoke mysql. This is the message iam getting.
[aruljose@aruljose mysql-standard-4.1.12-pc-linux-gnu-i686]$ mysql
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
so i guess mysql has been installed since the command is detected. some setting needs to be done.
now how to proceed?
according to a manual which came along with the release,
" The basic commands you must execute to install and use a MySQL binary
distribution are:
shell> groupadd mysql
shell> useradd -g mysql mysql
shell> cd /usr/local
shell> gunzip < /PATH/TO/MYSQL-VERSION-OS.tar.gz | tar xvf -
shell> ln -s FULL-PATH-TO-MYSQL-VERSION-OS mysql
shell> cd mysql
shell> scripts/mysql_install_db --user=mysql
shell> chown -R root .
shell> chown -R mysql data
shell> chgrp -R mysql .
shell> bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql & "
but the group add command is not working in the terminal. where to execute this command? should any classpath be set before executing these commands?
