RedHat / mySQL

[kornp]

I installed RedHat 7.2 with apache / php / mySQL. I have apache and php running fine now, but mySQL is nowhere to be found. I can't find anything to do with mySQL. typing "locate mysql" returns nothing, not a single thing! Is it by some other name? Did it not get installed for some cracked out reason? What's going on? Any ideas?

Im not sure but you can download the rpmhere (http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=mysql)

hi korn,
I had the same problem a while ago. I did a regular rh7.2 install. php/apache/mysql seemed to be installed, but i could not find mysql at all.

i fixed it by not installing any web services when i formatted and then i installed mysql/apache/php later and all at the same time. run all the rpms together when you install them.

here is a great link for what i'm trying to describe: http://www.keeline.com/iteachphp.com/php-handout2.php

good luck

Do an rpm query to see if it is ``really'' installed. Here is the output from mine.

[root@localhost /]# rpm -qa | grep mysql
mysql-3.23.41-1
mysqlclient9-3.23.22-6
mysql-server-3.23.41-1
php-mysql-4.0.6-15
mysql-devel-3.23.41-1

If not you can download current rpms from mysql.com

exactly.. it looked like it was installed with mine too. do you have the installation cd's ? or did you download it? if you have the cd's, just get the rpms from the cd and re-install those rpms all together at once.

i purchased my rh7.2 from the store and if you did too, then you probably have the same problem i did. the install does not work right... so the work-around is to install mysql, php, apache all at the same time as in the link i showed you.

i didn't have anything on my hard drive yet, so i just re-installed step by step using the link above.

i just know it has to do with mysql and php being installed together and after the installation of the o/s.

good luck.

Great! Thanx for all the help. I'll give it a shot on monday, (I can't now because my servers are both at school). I'll let you know if it works for me. Once again, thanx for all the help.

I installed from rpm's and all is well! Thanx for all the help guys. Now I have more problems though :(. I decided to install apache and php from source, but I can't find any instructions for installing php with apache 2.x.x, lots for 1.3.x or whatever it was, but I tried with those and it didn't work. Anywho, I'll start a new thread with this problem.
