MySQL in Mandrake

[KSiva]

Hi ,

I have installed mandarke 8.0 and I selected mysql to install. But it doesnt seems to be MYSQL installed. I thought of installed from rpm files. But I could not see any mysql rpm files in Mandrake install cd 1 and 2. Or the name are different?

Can some one tell me how to install mysql on mandrake? Using RPM ? and where can I download rpm for mandrake!

Thanks!

Hi,

The following were built for 8.1 and should work fine :

ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/Mandrake/8.1/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/MySQL-3.23.41-5mdk.i586.rpm
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/Mandrake/8.1/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/MySQL-bench-3.23.41-5mdk.i586.rpm
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/Mandrake/8.1/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/MySQL-client-3.23.41-5mdk.i586.rpm
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/Mandrake/8.1/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/MySQL-shared-3.23.41-5mdk.i586.rpm

Just download somewhere and install them all as root with :

# rpm -Uvh MySQL*.rpm

If you want to try the 4.0 alpha, you need to get it from

http://www.mysql.com/downloads/index.html

.


Hope this helps
