Hi,
I have been trying to get Mysql up and running on my Solaris 8 box and I'm having a
few problems.
- I downloaded the binary distribution Sun Solaris (Sparc) [Sun Solaris 2.7]
- Using the instructions from the online Documentation I was able to install
MYSQL into /usr/local/mysql without any problems.
- When I execute the command 'bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql &' I received the
following message and MySQL is not running.
dislink# Starting mysqld daemon with databases from
/usr/local/mysql-3.23.36-sun-solaris2.7-sparc/data
010329 09:18:39 mysqld ended
If I repeat the command without --user=mysql. The mysql starts but is
running as root.
- Also, I can not change the 'root' password. I receive a prompt to enter
the orginal password, but I don't know what the default password was set
too. This is a new install. Can someone tell me the default password for
'root'. Here is the command I used.
'/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h dislink -p password 'my_password'.
- Finally, is there a version of mysql other then the Beta version that is
available for Solaris 2.6 that does not use libraries from 2.7 or 2.8?
I was able to compile the latest version of mysql using the gcc. But mysql
will not run due to library errors. Sluething on my part showed calls to
libraries that don't exist on Solaris 2.6.
