can someone tell me how to install php 5.0.4 on mandrake 10.1. i'm currently running 4.3.8. i already tried the php manual, but there isn't much info about it
check in /usr/local/mysql/date for a file that ends in *.err. Do "cat *.err" and post the output. You may have to disable your previous mysql installation (through the services option in the system menu or via MCC) or uninstall it.
Ok, the best thing to do is to uninstall the mysql package you installed in /usr/local and do a reinstallation. You can download a binary package from the mysql website (maybe thats the one you already downloaded), extract it to /usr/local and then rename it to just mysql. Once thats done, do
1) cd /usr/local/mysql/scripts
2) ./mysql_install_db
3) chown -R root.mysql /usr/local/mysql/*
4) chown -R mysql.mysql /usr/local/mysql/data/*
5) Test it by doing /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe –user=mysql &
To remove the Mandrake mysql package, just use rpmdrake from the Mandrake control centre.
won't work, when i do the ./mysql_install_db, i get this:
Code:
[root@localhost scripts]# ./mysql_install_db
./mysql_install_db: line 1: my_print_defaults: command not found
Didn't find ./bin/mysqld
You should do a 'make install' before executing this script
[root@localhost scripts]#
what am i doing wrong
the file mysqld exist in bin
guess what, now php won't install, i run this command:
#./configure ?prefix=/usr/local/php ?with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs ?with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql
from this site: http://www.hostlibrary.com/installin...l_php_on_linux
and i get this error in my terminal
Code:
[root@localhost php-5.0.4]# ./configure -prefix=/usr/local/php -with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs-with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql
