mysql for RedHat 9.0

[MaxEd]

Hi,

I just did a fresh install of RedHat 9.0 using the gnome login. I have installed mySQL. I am a newbie at linux so could someone give me some help with setting up mysql? Thank you.

Not sure what kernel that is, here's an excellent site for mysql stuff

You shouldn't need to do anything, other than starting the service.

After starting the mysqld service. Download mysql-cc (Control Center) from

http://www.mysql.com.

It works like MSSQL Enterprise Manager. Your admin user is root and there is no password for it.

Zeland,

Thanks for the tip. I had a chance to see someone else use the control center on a Windows 2000 box and it looks GREAT! Hopefully it will be a troublefree installation.

Webmin is a great tool to use and to learn from.

You can also do: /sbin/service mysqld start

Does anyone know how to connect externally to mysql database say from a LAN windows 2000 box or through the internet? I haven't built a database up to connect to yet but I was wondering how I would go about doing a connect. Any suggestions on what I should do first? Thanks.

Grab the MyODBC drivers from

http://www.mysql.com.

Install them on your windows system. Set up the data source (just putting in the hostname, user/password, etc). It's a piece of cake. Just make sure mysql is using networking and binds to a 'public' address (make sure 'skip-networking' isn't declared in your /etc/my.cnf file).

So I need myODBC for my windows system to access the linux redhat 9.0 mysql server? I'm new to it so baby step me through it. Thanks.
