2. i install mysql-server with rpm -i mysql-version.rpm
3. i install mysql-max with rpm -i mysql-max-version.rpm

You could try to configure MySQL via webmin at http://webmin.com. This is awebbased tool with which you can configure and administer many parts of linux, including MySQL and I think Apache too.

Could anyone give me the steps to get it running ?

Hi Sark,

Try this...

just create my.cnf in /etc/

or if it is alredy there, just edit #vi /etc/my.cnf

and paste following things

[mysqld]
thread_stack=128K

now save file... restart mysql -- see the logs -- i hope it works..

hi please provide more info what is the version you've installed what is the version you really want? if 3.23 is really enough you can install it using Add/Remove programs that comes with Fedora

these are the MySQL rpms I've installed and working without any issues

MySQL-client-4.1.11-0
MySQL-server-4.1.11-0
MySQL-shared-3.23.58-1 (Note this version its older it is required for php and others connectivity with MySQL)
php-mysql-4.3.11-2.4 (I yum updated this)

once you installed these you dont need to run anything else seperately like ./mysql_install_db etc.
