Alex, If a source rpm was installed, everything should have been installed in /usr/scr/redhat/ . If you simply ran rpm -i rpm_name.rpm then you shouldn't need to run mysql_install_db. You shoud be able to start mysql from the script /etc/init.d/mysql walt --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
