This is what I know of the process: When you make the rpm by typing "make rpm" (the folks at mysql.com are awesome), you get half a dozen rpm's. Source, client, server, etc... You should install all on the same command line, ie rpm -ivh MySql-client.version.rpm MySql-server.version.rpm etc...(the vh is just verbose and hash marks, unnecessary but nice to see that stuff is working) If it is already installed you can try to use rpm -Fvh to freshen the version. Odds are this won't work for you since you probably have the perl DBD stuff that will likely depend on the old version. You can do an rpm -e of any package to erase it and then reinstall it later, which is what I usually do since I usually install the perl DBD stuff from source anyway. The rpm package is your friend... use it to your advantage...

I looked in init.d, and no mysql anywhere. I tried installing the mysql rpm, and it says it's missing the client, so I install the client. Still can't install server though. So, I tried rpm -i MySQL-server-4.0.18-0.i386.rpm and it gives me a bunch of these: file /usr/share/mysql/swedish/errmsg.sys from install of MySQL-server-4.0.18-0 conflicts with file from package mysql-3.23.58-1 file /usr/share/mysql/swedish/errmsg.txt from install of MySQL-server-4.0.18-0 conflicts with file from package mysql-3.23.58-1 So, I can't seem to install it even. And from that message, doesn't it sound like it's all ready on there? - Jody -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@redhat.com [<A HREF="mailto:redhat-list-bounces@redhat.com">mailto:redhat-list-bounces@redhat.com</A>] On Behalf Of Baek, Steve Sent: Monday, March 22, 2004 2:23 PM To: 'General Red Hat Linux discussion list' Subject: RE: Mysql setup on server install - but it's no there Jody, I typically install mysql from source code on mysql.com. It looks like you have a client side version of mysql installed. Check under /etc/init.d/ and look for a file that has mysql in it. If not, it looks like you aren't setup for mysql server in which case you'll have to install it. Try pulling the latest and greatest stable rpm of mysql and follow the docs. It is fairly straight forward...

Does that mean it's not installed? If so, why would the package manager say it was? And one more, what's the best way to get it installed?
