I have troubles running MySQL 3.23 from the tgz package in my Slackware 9.0 CD.
I tried '/usr/bin/mysql_install_db' and got:
Quote:
Installing all prepared tables
040226 14:47:27 /usr/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown Complete
To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy support-files/mysql.server
to the right place for your system
PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
This is done with:
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h ivanatora password 'new-password'
See the manual for more instructions.
NOTE: If you are upgrading from a MySQL <= 3.22.10 you should run
the /usr/bin/mysql_fix_privilege_tables. Otherwise you will not be
able to use the new GRANT command!
You can start the MySQL daemon with:
cd /usr ; /usr/bin/safe_mysqld &
You can test the MySQL daemon with the benchmarks in the 'sql-bench' directory:
cd sql-bench ; run-all-tests
Please report any problems with the /usr/bin/mysqlbug script!

Then I tried to set passwords:
Quote:
# /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'something'
/usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock' exists!

Tried to start the server:

Tried to start direclty mysqld:
Quote:

[1] 17821
040226 14:52:04 /usr/libexec/mysqld: Can't find file: './mysql/host.frm' (errno: 13)

(14:52:06)[root@/home/ivanatora]#

I read in the docs that the error could be caused if mysql_install_db is not run. But I run it without error.
Possible solution?
Maybe I should download binaries or sources and try with them?
