Hi All: I'm trying to get mysql 5 installed on my CentOS 4.6 installation. I've installed mysql using yum: yum -y install perl-DBD-MySQL mysql-server mysql php-mysql mod_auth_mysql phpmyadmin mysqlclient Yum says it installed fine: Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

I vaguely remember chasing a similar problem only to find out that it was being caused by the log file not having the right permissions and ownership. For mysqld.log the should be: -rw-r----- 1 mysql mysql 249 Jan 18 16:50 mysqld.log It also looks like you have multiple versions of mysqlclient plus the mysql rpm (which is the standard client): [root at ftp ~]# rpm -qa mysql*> mysqlclient14-4.1.22-1.el4s1.1 <--First client > mysqlclient10-devel-3.23.58-9.2.c4 > mysql-5.0.54-1.el4.centos <-- The centos client > mysqlclient10-3.23.58-4.RHEL4.1 <-- Another one > mysql-server-5.0.54-1.el4.centos > mysqlclient10-3.23.58-9.2.c4 <-- and still another > mysql-libs-5.0.54-1.el4.centoswhich could explain why installing the server didn't work. You should only have: # rpm -qa | grep mysql mysql-5.0.22-2.2.el5_1.1 php-mysql-5.1.6-15.el5 mysql-devel-5.0.22-2.2.el5_1.1 mysql-server-5.0.22-2.2.el5_1.1 Cheers, Dave -- Politics, n.
