Hi, I've been successfully using mysql 5.0.x on my win32 development machine.
I would like to install it on a server running stable Debian. Unfortunately, there are no .deb packages for the MySQL 5.0 series. I have tried to use the linux precompiled binaries but my debian complains about not being able to connect using "/var/run/.../mysqld.sock" and the "/etc/init.d/mysql start" script will tell me something went wrong. I have accidentally deleted "/etc/mysql/debian-start" and replaced it with an empty file :(. Now, what I would like to do is to either 1) use the precompiled binaries without breaking apt's database (ie overwriting the files that already exist) and using canonical debian path conventions. 2) compile by myself, but I *really* need some help with all the options ./configure provides, in order, again, to use the debian patch conventions. thanks in advance, Phil -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
