Hi all,
I hope someone here may be able to help me out! I have already
serached the net for info to sort my problem but I could not find
anything that solved it.
Now, go easy on me, I am a Linux newbie but am doing my best to learn
asap..
Anyway, to the problem...
I downloaded a copy of MySQL - the file I got was called...
MySQL-server-4.1.8-0.i386.rpm
Now, when I try to install from shell like this:
rpm -ivh MySQL-server-4.1.8-0.i386.rpm
I get a message saying
Package MySQL-server-4.1.8-0.i386.rpm is already installed
- bear in mind this is a new install of RedHat ES so i doubt its
installed, I know it comes with version 3 somrthing...any way i did not
install that version at setup.
So, me thinks OK, I will just uininstall it and then reinstall so i
get used to the procedure. So I type...
rpm -ev MySQL-server-4.1.8-0.i386.rpm
Now I get a message saying
Package MySQL-server-4.1.8-0.i386.rpm is not installed
HUH????
Ok, I thinks to myself - Hmmmm, maybe even though I did not ask to
install mysql during initial Linux setup, it installed anyway... No
problem, I shall upgrade... (This was also suggested on some websites
when I searched for help)
So I type
rpm -Uvh MySQL-server-4.1.8-0.i386.rpm
Now I get the message
Package MySQL-server-4.1.8-0.i386.rpm is not installed
Anyone any ideas of what is happening here? How can I get rid of this
package that is supposedly installed (sometimes)??
I did the Install/Remove Sofware bit from the menu in the Gnome GUI,
but the entry for mySql shows not installed!
When I ran
ps aux | grep mysql
initially it did show the service running, however now i have removed
the startup symbolic link (is that right) from the rc5.d (Run Level 5
directory thing) directory so now it does not start the service..
So bottom line is... MySql is on there somehwre (as it used to
startup), but I cant install, upgrade or remove...
Please help!

Did you try to stop the service before installing/upgrading the RPM?

Hello all. I'm trying to get mysql installed on OpenBSD 3.4.
Unfortunately, it appeares that the port only installes the
mysql-client, and one needs to install the -server package seperately.
This would be fine with one exception, there is a dependency that
breaks when installing from ports. This lead me to install from
source, and now I'm having problems just getting mysql to start.
If anyone could look at the error message below, and...

At first it was apparent that MySQL was installed

so I ran "mysql_install_db --force"

Hi there
I've noticed some very weird things happening with my current MySQL setup
on my XP Laptop, a development machine.
For a while, I have been trying to get the MySQL cache to work. Despite
entering the required lines to "my.ini" (the new my.cnf) through notepad
AND MySQL Administrator, the cache does not work.
So, today I took a peek at the 'Health' tab in MySQL Administrator.

I've used phpinfo() to confirm settings for mySQL on our host server,
and it's not returning accurate info.
phpinfo() returns a mySQL client API version of 3.23.54 (uselss for
me), where as a SELECT VERSION() query on the mySQL database returns
version 5.0.27 (exactly what we need). I think there's something wrong
with the mySQL library in PHP.
Is there any more thurough method of seeing php's settings for mySQL?

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
