7 | user/group mysql. | |
8 | ||
9 | POST-INSTALL | |
10 | 1. Fix user/group of your mysql databases and the log file | |
11 | if you are upgrading mysql from 5.0.x: | |
12 | chown -R mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql | |
13 | chown mysql:mysql /var/log/mysqld.log | |
14 | 2. run 'mysql_install_db' to build the system database | |
15 | in /var/lib/mysql | |
16 | 3. run 'mysql_upgrade' to add new privileges and features | |
17 | to the MySQL privilege tables if you have 4.x or 3.x | |
18 | databases | |

21 | ||
22 | PRECAUTION | |
23 | 1. With the default configuration networking support for | |
24 | mysql is disabled, meaning the mysql daemon is accessable | |
25 | from localhost only. | |
26 | To add networking support comment out the 'skip-networking' | |
27 | line in /etc/my.cnf. | |
28 | 2. If you upgrade from mysql 4.0.x you must recompile the | |
29 | other packages on your system that are linked against the | |
30 | mysql client libraries (libmysqlclient). | |
31 | To obtain such a list of packages for your system, you | |
32 | may use the command 'prt-get dependent mysql' or use yapo | |
33 | to list the packages. | |
34 | ||
35 | INNODB | |
36 | InnoDB table type support is compiled in but disabled by | |
37 | default. Comment out the skip-innodb line in /etc/my.cnf | |
38 | to fully enable InnoDB support. |
