A little aboutmy background. I have some experience getting around in linux on the command line. Proably enough just to be dangerous :-). I have installed and used Mysql under Windows 2000 no problem. Question: I installed Mysql from an RPM on Redhat 8.0 Im fairly sure that it installed properly at least i didnt see any error messages. This is what it gave me using mysql.server start: (it gave me basically the same message when using mysqld_safe) [EMAIL PROTECTED] mysql]# ./mysql.server start [EMAIL PROTECTED] mysql]# Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql 030629 12:21:45 mysqld ended I assume this means that the server started with no problem? When I did a PS i didnt see the server running in the background I assume it should show up as a process. Then when i issuied the following according to the post-install documentation to set intial privlidges it gave this error. [EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# mysqladmin -u root password 'star1234' Illegal instruction [EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# ./mysql -u root mysql Illegal instruction Im sure there is something simple i have missed but it keeps telling me that everything is an illegal instruction. Id appreicate any help if someone has encountered something similar. Any more information you need just tell me. Thanks for you time, Blake _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.
