Hi. I can't seem to pass the Mysql installation on Slackware 10.2 or current. IMHO there is a bug with the routine for checking Mysql in setup2 script. The check for mysql is Code: netstat -ta | grep -i mysql > /dev/null and should be Code: netstat -tap | grep -i mysql > /dev/null More info here: http://www.linuxpackages.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=78140
I guess thats a problem related only to slackware. The command option "-ta" is correct, it looks for the service name mysql, not for the process name mysql. I guess in /etc/services on slackware the mysql port is not defined?
