Mysql (Pete's notes)

Mac OS X

I shoulda installed it with fink, but I installed it from the Mysql site. The ReadMe.txt file that came with it explains where it installed the pieces. I didn't complete this step by doing what the readme file said to do next, but I installed the MySQLStartupItem.pkg along with the main piece.

Linux

Web to http://www.mysql.com/download.html. Download MySQL-3.22.23b-1.i386.rpm.

rpm -i MySQL-3.22.23b-1.i386.rpm

			PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
			This is done with:
			/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
