Hello List, i am trying to install mysql on debian lenny from source. Here is what i did (yes, i did read the INSTALL-SOURCE):
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql/ make -j 4 && make install cp support-files/my-medium.cnf /etc/my.cnf cd /usr/local/mysql chown -R mysql . chgrp -R mysql . bin/mysql_install_db --user=mysql FATAL ERROR: Could not find mysqld The following directories were searched: /usr/libexec /usr/sbin /usr/bin If you compiled from source, you need to run 'make install' to copy the software into the correct location ready for operation. If you are using a binary release, you must either be at the top level of the extracted archive, or pass the --basedir option pointing to that location. ==> Okay, this my make some sense. Whats the _correct_ way to solve this? Which mysql_install_db options do i need here? bin/mysql_install_db --user=mysql --basedir=/usr/local/mysql/ Installing MySQL system tables... 101018 11:50:13 [ERROR] /usr/local/mysql//libexec/mysqld: unknown option '--skip-bdb' 101018 11:50:13 [ERROR] Aborting 101018 11:50:13 [Note] /usr/local/mysql//libexec/mysqld: Shutdown complete Installation of system tables failed! Examine the logs in /var/lib/mysql for more information. ==> Why does it also log to /var/lib/mysql ? find /var/lib/mysql/ /var/lib/mysql/ /var/lib/mysql/mysql /var/lib/mysql/test /var/lib/mysql/mysql-bin.index Cheers, Mario -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org
