Why is it that when you install Mysql 3.23.X from RedHat or Mandrake that the datafiles
are in
/var/lib/mysql and when you install the binary from the Mysql site the instructions tell
you to
create an symlink to the mysql dir in /usr/local/mysql. I guess the difference is the RPM
version
and the Binary install?
I installed Redhat and couldn't start the mysql server - it would start and end and then
when I
tried mysql commands I got error 111 - means that the server is not started. When I look
in
/var/lib/mysql there are no database directories like mysql or test? So, I went to the
RedHat
Errata updates and found the mysql fixes and installed them. Now I can start safe_mysqld
-u root .
If I try to use a password to start the server it complains but I can't shut it down
without a
password. I moved existing database dir into /var/lib/mysql and they seem to work fine.
I think I am leaning towards Mandrake 7.2 over Redhat 7 for my install - I'm new but I
seem to have
to many crashes of the OS RedHat release
Thanks,
Douglas
