Getting mysql started after 9.1 install
Ok, so you`ve just installed mysql from slackware 9.1 and when you try and run it, after typeing `mysql` from the command line you get nothing but problems, probably you`re getting permission denied or can`t find such and such file. Well, here ya go, do this and you`re done... as root: /usr/bin/mysql_install_db cp /etc/my-small.cnf /etc/my.cnf there are a few other sample cnf files in /etc, you could cp one of them as my.cnf if you like chown -R mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql /usr/share/mysql/mysql.server start /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password `new-password` first off, the password is what ever ends up between the ``s So if you typed password `rick` then your password is rick. You have to use the ``s, if you type password rick, it aint gonna work. After you hit enter for this, it`s going to ask you for a password, just press enter cp /usr/share/mysql/mysql.server /etc/rc.d/rc.mysql Now, unless you messed around with, and if /etc/rc.d/rc.mysql is executible(should be), then mysql will run on bootup. If you want to change that, look for the line in /etc/rc.d/rc.M or chmod the file 644. That`s it, now read the many fine tutorials on using mysql in a safe and secure way, also feel happy that many people before me have tried to help people like you with this problem before.
