This is my first time with mysql so bear with me. I installed the "mysql-standard-4.0.15-pc-linux-i686.tar.gz" and ran the following command, like it show on the mysql website. shell> groupadd mysql shell> useradd -g mysql mysql shell> gunzip < mysql-VERSION.tar.gz | tar -xvf - shell> cd mysql-VERSION shell> ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql shell> make shell> make install shell> scripts/mysql_install_db shell> chown -R root /usr/local/mysql but when I triend to run the followng command it didn't work as I do not have the files in the /usr/local/mysql shell> chown -R mysql /usr/local/mysql/var shell> chgrp -R mysql /usr/local/mysql Then I tried to create a ln shell > cd /software/mysql-standard-4.0.15-pc-linux-i686.tar.gz shell>ln -s mysql-standard-4.0.15-pc-linux-i686.tar.gz /usr.local/mysql Still it didn't fix it! Then I went to /usr/local/mysql I just see one file mysql-standard-4.0.15-pc-linux-i686.tar.gz highlighted. What am I missing? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
