Install mysql-3.23.49 to redhat 7.2

Hi experts,

I am trying to install this from the source but can't seem to get it working properly.  I probably missed some steps from the install manual:

cd /usr/local/mysql-3.23.49
groupadd mysql
useradd -g mysql mysql
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql
make
make install
scripts/mysql_install_db
chown -R root /usr/local/mysql
chown -R mysql /usr/local/mysql/var
chgrp -R mysql /usr/local/mysql
cp support-files/my-medium.cnf /etc/my.cnf
/usr/local/mysql/bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql &

I am getting confused as to when i put this in:
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password 'new-password'
and
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h mywebsite.com -p password 'new-password'

I get all these error but am not expert enough to figure how to fix it:
/tmp/mysql.sock error
and
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u mysql -p password 'mypassword'
Enter password:
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user: 'mysql@localhost' (Using password: YES)'

What I am looking for is the exact command lines to install mysql from scratch and to set it up with a password protection for root & any users.

I have a gateway 6400 server, 8GB HDD, 512MB ram.

Thanks in advance.

I got it to work myself, somehow this works:

./mysql

then go in and set the root password

then exit and type:

./mysql -u root -p
enter password.
and I am in the database again.

Okay now that it works I will like to award these points to whoever can tell me how to properly set it up so that different user can log in:  ie:

users:
======
root
user1
user2
user3...

thanks experts!

larry718,

use mysql_setpermission it is designed to create user relationships with a database:

let me know if you need more help..

=================================

Usage: mysql_setpermission  
and enter root
password if any for mysql.

Then choose from the menu:
######################################################################
## Welcome to the permission setter 1.2 for MySQL.
## made by Luuk de Boer
######################################################################
What would you like to do:
  1. Set password for a user.
  2. Add a database + user privilege for that database.
     - user can do all except all admin functions
  3. Add user privilege for an existing database.
     - user can do all except all admin functions
  4. Add user privilege for an existing database.
     - user can do all except all admin functions + no create/drop
  5. Add user privilege for an existing database.
     - user can do only selects (no update/delete/insert etc.)
  0. exit this program
 
Make your choice [1,2,3,4,5,0]:

larry718,
looks like if depends upon the DBI module.  This is a perl thing.  This is easy to intsall:

method one:

at the command line simply type:
perl -MCPAN -eshell

(At this point if you've  never used this before you will ne4ed to fill out the default values for various utilities).
 
and then when the CPAN command prompt comes up:

install DBI;

and then variuous install messages will be displayed.

or
method two:
go to: http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=DBI

downlaod the .tar.gz distribution and unzip & tar it and do a perl Makefile, then make, make test, make install.


let me know if you need more help.

I agree Peewee, just hope he/she reacts on the three email notif's, otherwise we'll have to wait for a cleanup expert to propose the way the Q can be finalized....
We don't have one yet for this TA :(
The main TA Databases and Access are covered and also some others (check the link in Q: https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/20319784/Expert-Cleanup-Brigade.html)
Perhaps interested ?
