For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
Summary of MySQL installation on a Linux system

The critical steps of deleting an old copy of MySQL, and installing and starting up a nice new clean one!

(the numbers are my "history number" - I did a lot of ls-ing and vi-ing in between!)

1001 cd /usr/local
1004 rm -rf mysql-5.1.24-rc-linux-i686-icc-glibc23/
1006 rm mysql
1009 tar xzf /home/trainee/bristol/mysql-5.1.24-rc-linux-i686-icc-glibc23.tar.gz
1013 ln -s mysql-5.1.24-rc-linux-i686-icc-glibc23 mysql
1014 cd mysql
1016 vi INSTALL-BINARY
1017 chown -R mysql.mysql .
1019 scripts/mysql_install_db --user=mysql
1021 chown -R root .
1022 chown -R mysql data
1024 bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &

Notes:

a) There may be a need to shut the Ole Daemon down first.

b) Beware files /etc/my.cnf and /root/.my.cnf which may exist from a previous install and have the database parameters and directories set to goodness only knows where

c) I HAVE DESTROYED ALL THE DATA that was being held in the previous database (but then I have a good backup, yah?)

d) I need to go on and set up the password and accounts for the database. It's left wide open with the base install - but not as wide as it used to be

e) To make it reload on reboot, the mysql.server script that's supplied with the download should be put into /etc/init.d, with appropriate links from rc5.d or rc3.d
