Webmin MySQL not running

#1 Post by JPerkins »

I when in to set up my MySQL in Webmin, so as to move my database from Mandrake 10.0 to Sarge.
Found MySQL not running, but installed. Clicked on and got this error message "Click this button to start the MySQL database server on your system with the command (/usr/bin/safe_mysqld || /usr/bin/mysqld_safe) >/dev/null 2>&1 &. This Webmin module cannot administer the database until it is started."
I also tried # mysql start To no availe.
What am I missing?

Did you consider using phpMyAdmin as a web interface to your MySQL databases?

I think Webmin is pure evil... SCNR.

On to something. It did not work, no file!
I have mysql-common 4.0.24 installed. Also webmin-mysql.
Should I install mysql-server?

That did it! Thank you very much.

Personally I really like Webmin.

I agree with mority. phpMyAdmin is sort of a server "standard" now and makes database management very easy. Consider it. http://www.phpmyadmin.net/

Also when you install MySQL you can specify which version you want.

MySQL 4.0

Code: Select all

# apt-get install mysql-server
MySQL 4.1

Code: Select all

# apt-get install mysql-server-4.1
MySQL 5.0

Code: Select all

# apt-get install mysql-server-5.0
