[SOLVED] MySQL and RHEL 5.3

[EBRAHIM™]

Hi all,

Currently I'm using RHEL 5.3 in my server. Last time I install MySQl Server and it working fine.

Then i facing a problem with my server and i reinstall back RHEL. But i didnt use MySql package inside the CD to install MySQL.

So i install MySQl separately. I download from MySql website.

My problem is, i success install MySql in my server. The service also running. But when i type.

mysql -u root password

it said, command not found.

I dont understand why.

Can somebody give me an idea?

Google: what is the path variable

Either you have only installed the server RPM (the mysql client is in the client package),
or the mysql client is not in $PATH

To check that, do a

rpm -qa|grep -i mysql

and look for the name of that client package

rpm -qilv <CLIENTPACKAGENAME> |grep bin

also, when including the password in the mysql command, you want it to look like this (i'm going to use "test" as the password):

mysql -u root -ptest
