ok,
i tried getting the version with, yourpath/mysqladmin version
saying it cannot connect to the mysql server
i tried doing it the gui way, and i got mysqld dead but subsys locked.
did a very quick google, and came up with /etc/init.d/mysqld start
when i run that (as root) i get the lines
chown: 'mysql:mysql': invalid user
chown: 'mysql:mysql': invalid user
Timeout error occurred trying to start mysql daemon.
Starting mysql [FAILED]
(the output was handtyped, but acurate other than spaceing and
capitilization)
so, do i need to add a mysql user to the system? or is this refering to the
mysql user that comes in mysql? or is it just something else completly
different
also, has anyone else had so many problems trying to figure out how to set
up mysql before?
.... does my question make any sence?
