After installing mysql with pkgtool do the following (which I should mention this has come up far too many times with answers, a search would have found this most likely):
That should start it manually and you can edit your rc.d scripts, rc.M in particular to start mysql at startup. If your using Slackware 9.1 it should already have the rc.mysqld script in that directory. Might just need to make it executable:
Well, not sure what was wrong with mysql on my suse 9... i tried everything to get it running including the tutorials. Then I followed your little instructions here and it works! Thanks.
I had install a linux Red Hat some time ago, and toghter i installed MySQL. I never used MySQL before, but now i would like to try.
So i made a download of MySQL-client-4.0.18-0.i386.rpm because is more easy to install, but when i do this i receive a error mensage:
warning: MySQL-client-4.0.18-0.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 5072e1f5
package MySQL-client-4.0.18-0 is already installed
file /usr/bin/mysql from install of MySQL-client-4.0.18-0 conflicts with file from package mysql-3.23.52-3
file /usr/bin/mysqlaccess from install of MySQL-client-4.0.18-0 conflicts with file from package mysql-3.23.52-3
file /usr/bin/mysqlbinlog from install of MySQL-client-4.0.18-0 conflicts with file from package mysql-3.23.52-3
So i was reading and i need to import the pubkey, but when i do this i receive this menssage:
rpm --import mysql_pubkey.asc
M.Bertalan,
Make sure that your public Key file begins with
"Key ID:"
Sometimes... accidentally it begins with "D:".. that is the "Key I" gets truncated.
This is all that I can tell... I am newbie myself.
Thanks,
