FreeBSD MySQL 3.22.32 % vinstall mysql

BSD/OS MySQL 3.22.25 % installmysql-3.22.25

NOTE: If your Virtual Server was ordered after Nov 22, 1999, you are likely running FreeBSD. To find out which O/S your Virtual Server is running, use the uname command: % uname

This command will automatically install all the necessary files for you to run MySQL v3.22.25. It will also start the mysql daemon running on your Virtual Server and setup the Virtual Server to restart the mysql daemon whenever your Virtual Server's host server reboots.

Please note that after you install MySQL it is not necessary to run the mysql_install_db as described in Section 6.7 of the MySQL manual.

To use the MySQL client type:

% mysql -u root

This command will start the MySQL client as the root user. You can add more users by following the directions in Section 6.8 -- Adding new user privileges in the MySQL users manual.

Documentation and Support
MySQL has an excellent Reference Manual detailing the complete use of MySQL. The Reference Manual is also installed locally at:

~/usr/local/share/doc/mysql/manual.html

Manpages are available on each Virtual Server host server and can be accessed by typing the following during a telnet session with your Virtual Server:

% man mysql

While we do offer MySQL, we do not provide support for MySQL beyond the installation procedure which is presented above. For additional information and documentation see:
