by Ye That Know,
Short: Does YaST really install MySQL 'all-the-way', or do I now need to =
run 'make' and/or 'make install', or other similar commands?
Long:
Previously <last week> I had installed MySQL using rpm as detailed in a =
SAMS book http://tinyurl.com/2pq27
It installed fine and worked ok - I connected, made a few tiny test DBs, =
etc
=97----------
I was having trouble with PHP and decided to reinstall everything using =
YaST
I installed the latest versions of:
flex
mysql
apache
php
In that order.

Now when I type 'mysql' I get: "ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL =
server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock"
When I type 'mysqld' I get: "Fatal Error: Please read "Security" section =
of the manual to find out how to run mysql as root!"
(I'm root)
I did look at the manual but didn't see specific root instructions. I =
also logged in as a non-root user and retried. It said the command was not =
found, which is odd because it is in /usr/sbin and is executable.
=97-
Above I asked if YaST installs MySQL all-the-way because the directory =
'mysql' is missing from /usr/local.
Perhaps that is simply an install location difference between rpm and =
YaST.

What do you guys think? I'm considering uninstalling MySQL with YaST and =
reinstalling with rpm.
TIA,
-:>Kevin
