From: chris on 14 Apr 2010 10:31 Hi all, I'm trying to install MySQL and it's perl modules following these instructions: http://bixsolutions.net/forum/thread-8.html But I'm stuck at the 'mysqladmin' stage. Typing either 'mysql' or 'mysqladmin' in Terminal results in a 'command not found'. Do I need to install the clients separately or what? I've had a google, but can't find them. I've a feeling I'm missing something obvious here. Can someone put me out my misery, please? Cheers, Chris

Did you type ../mysqladmin in the directory that it was installed in, or add the directory it was installed to in your path? -- Woody

It came as a package and I just let it do it's stuff. Allegedly the server's running, but I can't access it via the Terminal... :(

Allegedly the server's > running, but I can't access it via the Terminal... :( in which case: ps -ax | grep mysql will tell you where it is (and if it is running). Then you can add the path to your bash profile (or whatever you use). Better still, just use cocoa mysql and then you don't have to go on the terminal. Chances are it is where the official mysql installs put it, either in /usr/local/mysql, or /opt/mysql. what happens if you type /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql ? -- Woody

Where can I get that? |
