Greetings all, I'm a bit of a newb so please bear with me: I selected the mysql package when I installed FC3 (as server). I then ran "yum update" and just let it update everything. That's a good thing, right? Anyway, so far, so good: named/bind is working well (after a week of reading!), apache and php are running too. It was a nice surprise when php worked 'out of the box'! But I can't start mysqld! Using updatedb and locate do not find the mysqld file on the system. So... "yum info mysql" reports: Installed Packages Name : mysql Arch : i386 Version: 3.23.58 Release: 14 Size : 5.2 M Repo : installed Summary: MySQL client programs and shared library. "rpm -q mysql" reports: mysql-3.23.58-14 "rpm -i /var/cache/yum/updates-released/packages/mysql-3.23.58-14.i386.rpm" reports: package mysql-3.23.58-14 is already installed running "mysql_install_db" from /usr/bin reports: Didn't find /usr/libexec/mysqld You should do a 'make install' before executing this script (Yeah, I can't find mysqld either!) Do I need to do a 'make install'? What directory should that be done in? I can't really tell where mysql is installed. I'm confused because I thought installing the rpm (from anaconda and/or yum) would eliminate that step. So I'm kinda stuck now... hate to muck up an otherwise good install of FC3. Any help or hints would be greatly appreciated! burke
