I posted something to try on the other question.


<div>
The installation does not create a mysql.conf file by default. &nbsp;The installation instructions lists that the config needs to be created. &nbsp; &nbsp;I beleive it is to prevent overwritting of an existing conf file. &nbsp;

The installation does not create a mysql.conf file by default.  The installation instructions lists that the config needs to be created.    I beleive it is to prevent overwritting of an existing conf file.  

<div>
After you run mysql_install_db successfully,<br />
copy support-files/my-medium.cn<wbr />f to /etc/mysql.cnf<br />
then run support-files/mysql.server<wbr />.<br />
<br />
If you still get the same error, post the error message.<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
