Hi guys,

I was trying to install mysql in redhat 9.0 and I followed the instrution given on the following link :
http://keitz.homeip.net/procedures/kop1005.html

I was stucked at 3.3 Configure the Make File !!
when I entered the following command

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql


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
030818 22:20:45 ./bin/mysqld: Shutdown Complete

To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy support-files/mysql.server
to the right place for your system

PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
This is done with:
./bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
./bin/mysqladmin -u root -h cpcwebserver password 'new-password'
See the manual for more instructions.

NOTE: If you are upgrading from a MySQL <= 3.22.10 you should run
the ./bin/mysql_fix_privilege_tables. Otherwise you will not be
able to use the new GRANT command!

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
Support MySQL by buying support/licenses at https://order.mysql.com

Starting the mysqld server. You can test that it is up and running
with the command:
./bin/mysqladmin version
[root@cpcwebserver mysql-standard-4.0.14-pc-linux-i686]# Starting mysqld daemon
with databases from /mysql-standard-4.0.14-pc-linux-i686/data
030818 22:20:46 mysqld ended

then I tried to enter make command, it showed the message below:

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

I tried whether mysql is started by entering
./bin/mysqladmin version
then I got the following message :

mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' exists!

I thought the guide should have no problem but in fact it giving me this kind of annoying problems ! Pls help ! Thks in Advance !!

rgrd,
Elf

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

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!
Click to expand...

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:

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 .......

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.
