Monty,
Took your advice and downloaded
mysql-3.23.42-pc-linux-gnu-i686.tar.gz
Placed it in /usr/local
Renamed /usr/local/mysql to /usr/local/mysql-old
unpacked with
tar -zxvf mysql-3.23.42-pc-linux-gnu-i686.tar.gz
which made /usr/local/mysql-3.23.42-pc-linux-gnu-i686
I checked out the dir ( I was working as root)
and I saw the owner of the dir and files is db2as !!
Now db2as is the Admin User Created by the DB2 7.1 install.
How did this happen??
I have used tar frequently and I have never seen this error.
DB2 was installed in April.
I did whoami and I was root. Tried as user same results.
Tarred another non Mysql file, No problem?
So, I changed all the dir and file owners to root or mysql.
I changed the dir name to /usr/local/mysql.
I ran /usr/local/mysql/scripts/mysql_install_db
and got this error every time......
faults: command not found
Didn't find ./bin/mysqld
You should do a 'make install' before executing this script
I renamed the dir to long name and copied mysqld to /bin...
same error message...
I guess this just won't work.. :^(
any other suggestions.??
