Hi

Thanks for your help

I downloaded and installed mysql on linux enterprise version 4 using the command

rpm -ivh "mysql_file_name.rpm"


Mysql got installed without any errors


But when i run the command

mysqladmin -u root password mysqldata

i got the error mysqladmin not found

What could be the reason for this error inspite of the fact that mysql got installed properly without any errors

You should have used 'up2date' (the RHEL 4 equiv to yum, although I think you can get yum for RHEL4).
That would take care of any dependencies.
Difficult to know what you installed, as you don't give the exact filename, but maybe just the DB code, but not various tools to make it 'usable'.

Hi,

I have installed "MySQL-Server-Community 5.1.30-0.rhel4.i386.rpm" in the / directory

How do i uninstall this now so that i can try reinstalling it using the commands suggested by you?

Thanks!

See this page, centre column is up2dfate cmds: http://sakafi.wordpress.com/2008/01/...e-yum-up2date/

You prob want one or more of

up2date –show-available |grep -i mysql
up2date –show-groups |grep -i mysql

up2date –arch=i386 mysql

you need to install mysqladmin separately from the DB server, iirc
