hmm. well I've got libc-5.3.12-25 which seems to be the newest. also
I've got
perl-5.004-4 which also seems to be the newest so I doubt that is the
problem. this time I got the following error...
----------
[root@benway RPMs]# rpm -ivh mysql-3.21.26-1.i386.rpm
mysql
##################################################
Initializing Grant Tables
Database "mysql" created.
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed; error: 'Can't
connect to local MySQL server'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket:
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' exists!
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed; error: 'Can't

Check that mysqld is running and that the socket:

Starting mysqld
-----------
so I change to /etc/rc.d/init.d and do the following:
---------------
[root@benway init.d]# ./mysql start
Starting mysql: mysql
[root@benway init.d]# ./mysql status
mysqld is stopped
--------------
It just doesn't seem to want to start.
the part of the script that tries to start it is
-----------
start)
if test -x $bindir/safe_mysqld
then
# -l means start with log.
echo -n "Starting mysql: "
$bindir/safe_mysqld -l > /dev/null 2>&1 &
echo "mysql"
touch /var/lock/subsys/mysql
else
echo "Can't execute $bindir/safe_mysqld"
fi
;;
---------
If I try to do it by hand I get no errors but it still doesn't work ...
-----------
[root@benway rob]# /usr/bin/safe_mysqld
Starting mysqld demon with databases from /var/lib/mysql
mysqld demon ended
------------
if anyone has any suggestions I'm wide open.
thanks,
rob
