Useful Ramblings

Prerequisites:

• MySQL rpm has been installed ( if not used the package manager to install all MySQL packages )
• That MySQL is running – in FDC it is off by default.

To start MySQL do:

• mysqld start

Note: this is good for this session but for future reboots use the services interface to start MySQL automatically on future reboots.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !

• Start the server as noted above
• /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password ‘new-password’

Test Procedure:

• cd /usr/share/sql-bench
• perl run-all-tests -user root -pass “yourpasswd_no_quotes”
