I go to /usr/lib/mysql to run mysql, but I dont see my database in that folder (linux). Where are these databases located?
Thanks,

In your mysql/bin directory you need to run

% mysql_install_db

that would depend on your configuration.

our databases are located in /usr/local/var/

*note* you usually need to be root to view these files

On my LAMP box, MySQL's databases are in /var/lib/mysql

Same with me..

always install under /var/lib/mysql and symlink from /usr/local/mysql
