Problems installing MySql & PHP from rpms?
I am new to Fedora 3 and trying to get my way around it. I am trying to install mysql-server, mysql-client, and php from rpms. i have checked and and can confirm that i have all these rpms on my machine. i am however not able to able to install and start any of these services despite repeated trials to run the appropriate install commands. I did log on as super user and am tearing my hair off trying to figure this out. Please help! when i use YUM it asks for gpg keys. when i try to do the # mysql_install_db it asks me to "make install" first before running this script.

Both PHP and MySQL come with FC3, so you may already have them installed (though they are not the most current versions). You can check with
Code:
$ rpm -q mysql Code:
# /etc/init.d/mysqld start As for yum, I strongly suggest checking the FAQ on how to set it up (note: link is for FC3). |
Problems starting mysql, Apache and PHP
Thanks for the reply. I tried the suggestions you gave me and i was able to confirm that both mysql and php are installed on my computer. I cannot get mysql started however because i think i have it in a different folder than your solution suggested. i also get the error 2002 message, "Cant connect to the local mysql server through the socket /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock".
I also searched for the location of mysql and i find it is in /usr/bin/mysql also in /usr/lib/mysql and also usr/share/mysql. where do i start? how do i get mysql to start? nelson |
i might have spotted the problem..still no solution
i found out that i do not have mysqld file in the init.d folder because 1. i looked for it there and it is not there 2. when i run the /etc/init.d/mysqld start script, it says no such directory found. Now question is:
how do i get the mysqld file and put it in the init.d folder? any help will be greatly appreaciated. i am begginig to get an even better grasp of how FC3 is organized/works. thanks nelson |
