825e3023 VM |
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. |
