error during mysql323-server installation, how to configure hostname command.

[Mantas Kriauciunas]

Hey!
when i try to 'make install' mysql323-server i get:
===   Generating temporary packing list
/usr/local/bin/mysql_install_db
Sorry, the host 'mntkz' could not be looked up.
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
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/databases/mysql323-server.

--
how to fix this? if i do --force on mysql_install_db then make install doesn't work 
anymore, and i can't start mysql server because of few problems, i guess it doesn't 
install up to the end.

Thanks for reading my problem!

The other option would be to do what it says, that is, configure your 
'hostname' The hostname is what you set in your /etc/rc.conf file and is set 
at boot time, you can also reset your hostname as superuser, using the 
'hostname' command.  Mysql is probably wanting your hostname to be a hostname 
that can be resolved to an ip address. 

One way to do this is to edit your /etc/hosts file and enter something like:
192.168.0.10mntkz

The reason I suggest that ip address is because 192.168.*.* is reserved for 
people with computers who dont have a _real_ ip address and hostname.

Jacob
