MySQL Start Problems
 

Ok So after about 2 days of searcjing these forums trying all the tricks im just going to post. I compiled MySQL 4.1.21 and go to start it, and it will time out, nothing popups and nothing. This is a screenshot about 20 mins 0of letting it load.

Does anybody know what to do.

It happens on 4.1.21 and 5.0.24a

I recommend that you uninstall/remove what you have compiled and then do one of the following:

1. Install MySQL from the RPMs on your Fedora Core CD's.

2. Go to http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.0.html and download MySQL 5.0 in one of their pre-compiled binaries.

After I install the header files, were would they be as PHP requires the header files for PHP MySQL extention to be compilied.
