Thanks for the reply. I tried to install the mysql-devel..., mysql-server... and mysql-3.23... but the system reported that they were already installed. However, the rpm -qi only reports that the mysql...src.. is installed.
The mysql server does NOT show up with a 'ps -e' command, so it is NOT running. I will take a look at google, and then probably uninstall and start over. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ed Wilts" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, March 28, 2003 10:50 AM Subject: Re: Cant get mysql to work under RH8.0 > On Fri, Mar 28, 2003 at 10:22:55AM -0500, Billy Davis wrote: > > When we installed RH8.0 on our server, we also selected the mysql package > > for installation.
