MySQL Server on UNIX or more specifically HP-UX

[beanbag]

Right....I've managed to install it from the depot but I can't get the sodding thing to run. I've run the post install script but I'm really having no luck and have no idea what I'm actually meant to be doing!

Could anyone help maybe with a step by step bunch of instructions....!?

Thank!

Assuming its the same as on *nix said:

shell> groupadd mysql shell> useradd -g mysql mysql shell> cd /usr/local shell> gunzip < /path/to/mysql-VERSION-OS.tar.gz | tar xvf - shell> ln -s full-path-to-mysql-VERSION-OS mysql shell> cd mysql shell> scripts/mysql_install_db shell> chown -R root . shell> chown -R mysql data shell> chgrp -R mysql . /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root password <password> /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h `hostname` password <password> shell> bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &

No good! I just get the same error again!

have a look for a hostname.err file (where hostname is the name you gave during the password setting stage)

The error may well be listed in there.
