FreeBSD and Mysql 4.1 - GoFuckYourself.com

CS-Jay · 05-11-2005, 11:38 AM

Has anyone got mysql 4.1 to install on FreeBSD? For some reason, I am having a hell of a time with it. It's on a FreeBSD 5.3.

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks,
Jay

you installing it manually or through the ports collection?

i am running freebsd 4.11-stable

i dont really like the 5.x code

Ports.

But now, I getting an error when trying to start it. Uggghh.

I liked 5.0, but I'm not too sure about 5.3

Was there any special steps that you went throught to get it started?

how's accurate is this page http://www.bsdnexus.com/tutorials/mysql_install.html

I don't run any mysql-4.1 servers, but have to concur with others that the fbsd-5 branch is far from desirable.. The latest releases in the 4 branch are rock solid though! :D

What errors are you seeing? That might help.

# ./mysql.server.sh start
Starting MySQL................................... ERROR!

and nothing in the messages folder.

I copied the start up script from the /usr/local/shared/mysql/mysql.server to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql.server.sh

With no luck.

This is why I like mysql 3.23.x

Do you have a specific need for mysql-4.1? I hope you realize that you need to use different libraries to connect to a 4.1 daemon vs. pre-4.1.

Is this an upgrade from 3.23? Nothing in the error log in your datadir?

Basically, I wanted to use phpadsnew 2/M3 .X??? it's an ads server with some features that I really need.

I didn't know that there was different libraries.

I am now copying over the my.cf file. Which I have never had to use before on previous versions of mysql.
