Ok, I am going about this as I normally have umpting times.... # scripts/mysql_install_db
and I get Neither host 'isdesign.isdesigndev.com' and 'localhost' could not be looked up with ./bin/resolveip Please configure the 'hostname' command to return a correct hostname. If you want to solve this at a later stage, restart this script with the --force option I have in /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 isdesign localhost.localdomain localhost and in /etc/sysconfig/network HOSTNAME=isdesign.isdesigndev.com hmmmm? This is on a RedHat 9 server... Any ideas? -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
