I purchased the mysql msql book from O'Reilly as well as another
mysql book with a CD. I loaded the 3.22 versions to a windows and
also to a Linux machine. It took me quite a while to determine
where the files were located on the Linux machine as the installation
process was done by CD. I finally found them at /var/lib/mysql/mysql.
I have been trying to follow the instructions and am able to
initiate safe_mode. Using ps aux, I see that I am indeed up and
running. However when I try any commands ie. mysqladmin -p create
database or show databases I am told that mysqladmin is not an
understood command . I know that I am not doing something correctly
but reading several texts and following examples has not gotten me
anywhere. Can you point me in the right direction. I am not new to
SQL or databases and I have had a semester of Linux 2 years ago but
this has me stumped. Your help is appreciated.
Martin
