Installing MySQL-standard-4.0.14.tar.gz in Red Hat Linux 9.0 problem! [red hat linux 9] [tar gz]


Re:Hi,

I still can't get it to work how ???


Re:I had the same problem — I'd start the server and it would shut down within 5 seconds. The problem, as it turned out, was that the binaries were incompatible with my system. I downloaded the source code, followed the included directions for configuring, compiling, and installing it, and everything worked like a charm.

Re:Hi guy,

I have tried

rpm -e mysql-4.0.14-pc-linux.rpm

and it said that mysql never install and I tried

rpm -qa | grep mysql

it said the same thing !

I tried reintalled it

rpm -ivh mysql-4.0.14-pc-linux.rpm

and it said mysql already installed !

I don't know what the stupid linux up to !!

pls help ………..


Re:Uninstall it and install the new one then.

rpm -e mysql or rpm -e mysql-server. rpm -qa | grep mysql to see what it's called.

Re:Why don't you just install an RPM?

Re:Hi,

I m so sorry for my furious dude !! here the case :

I have followed the following step to install
mysql-standard-4.0.14-pc-linux-i686.tar.gz in Redhat 7.2

===============================================

1) groupadd mysql
2) useradd -g mysql mysql
3) cd /usr/local
4) gunzip < /path/to/mysql-standard-4.0.14-pc-linux-i686.tar.gz | tar xvf -
5) ln -s full-path-to-mysql-VERSION-OS mysql
6) cd mysql
7) scripts/mysql_install_db
8) chown -R root /usr/local/mysql/.
9) chown -R mysql /usr/local/mysql/data
10) chgrp -R mysql /usr/local/mysql/.
11) cp /usr/local/mysql/support-files/my-medium.cnf /etc/my.cnf
===============================================

In step 7, I got the following error message:
================================================== ======

./mysql_install_db: my_print_defaults: command not found
Installing all prepared tables
030823 0:16:14 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld: Shutdown Complete
================================================== ======

so I just skipped it and continue until step 10.
Then I tried to run mysql database with the following command:

./mysqld_safe –user=mysql

under /usr/local/mysql/bin

and then I got the message below:
================================================== ====
Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/data
030823 00:20:22 mysql ended
================================================== =====

Pls help …….


Re:man, calm down. No wonder nobody wants to help you. If you would read your first post, there is a note in there that is important.

NOTE: This is a MySQL binary distribution. It's ready to run, you don't need to configure it!

you are trying to configure something that doesn't need to be configured. therefore, won't have a make file. I think you downloaded the wrong file. Try this one:

http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-4.0.html


Re:Hey, I told u right ?? I tried to enter make command, it showed the message below:

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

Do you understand the word coming out of my mouth……………….


Re:How did you install mysql? i can see you did a "./configure –prefix", but did you do a "make" and then a "make install" ?

Re:hey u guys out there insane ??? Can't even help me…..

Re:Aiyah … pls help lah !!!!
