I am new to this newsgroup and I am a SUSE Linux 7.3 user. I want to learn how to use PHP and MySQL and I am reading the MySQL reference manual. Firstly I am trying to install these RPM files.
MySQL-3.23.52-1.i386.rpm MySQL-client-3.23.52-1.i386.rpm MySQL-devel-3.23.52-1.i386.rpm They all installed successfully; Then from /usr/local I ran mysql_install_db and I got this; cords-orj86jfje:/usr/local # mysql_install_db Installing all prepared tables 020927 18:06:15 /usr/sbin/mysqld: Shutdown Complete To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy support-files/mysql.server to the right place for your system PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER ! This is done with: /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password' /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h cords-orj86jfje password 'new-password' See the manual for more instructions. NOTE: If you are upgrading from a MySQL <= 3.22.10 you should run the /usr/bin/mysql_fix_privilege_tables. Otherwise you will not be able to use the new GRANT command! You can start the MySQL daemon with: cd / ; /usr/bin/safe_mysqld & You can test the MySQL daemon with the benchmarks in the 'sql-bench' directory: cd sql-bench ; run-all-tests Please report any problems with the /usr/bin/mysqlbug script! The latest information about MySQL is available on the web at http://www.mysql.com Support MySQL by buying support/licenses at https://order.mysql.com Now at this point what do I do ?? I put in my passwords successfully but when I entered the "safe_mysqld &" I got this; mike@cords-orj86jfje:/usr/bin> safe_mysqld & [1] 1759 mike@cords-orj86jfje:/usr/bin> cat: /var/lib/mysql/cords-orj86jfje.pid: Permission denied rm: cannot unlink `/var/lib/mysql/cords-orj86jfje.pid': Permission denied Fatal error: Can't remove the pid file: /var/lib/mysql/cords-orj86jfje.pid /usr/bin/safe_mysqld: /var/lib/mysql/cords-orj86jfje.err: Permission denied Please remove it manually and start /usr/bin/safe_mysqld again mysqld daemon not started What do I do from here ???
