110814 12:41:06 /usr/sfw/sbin/mysqld: Shutdown Complete
To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy support-files/mysql.server
to the right place for your system
PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands:
/usr/sfw/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
/usr/sfw/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h rac1 password 'new-password'
See the manual for more instructions.
You can start the MySQL daemon with:
/usr/sfw/bin/mysqld_safe &
You can test the MySQL daemon with the tests in the 'mysql-test' directory:
cd /usr/sfw/mysql/mysql-test; ./mysql-test-run
Please report any problems with the /usr/sfw/bin/mysqlbug script!
The latest information about MySQL is available on the web at
http://www.mysql.com
Support MySQL by buying support/licenses at http://shop.mysql.com
Next Step is to Populate
#installf SUNWmysqlr /var/mysql d 770 root mysql
#chgrp -R mysql /var/mysql/
#chmod -R 770 /var/mysql/
Next Step is to copy confi file to /etc/my.cnf
we will copy from the /usr/sft/share/mysql/my-medium.cnf /etc/my.cnf
When starting the mysqld (daemon), it reads the my.cnf in the /etc
*
We will be running the mysql service under user mysql.
For that we will creat the user mysql
#groupadd mysql
#useradd -g mysql mysql
Note : There is no need to set up password for mysql.
Since we wont log-in with mysql. we just need it to run
the process under mysql account
#chgrp -R mysql /var/mysql
#chmod -R 770 /var/mysql
We will copy the configuration file from
/usr/sfw/mysql/ There are various kind of configuration files
we have
my-medium.cnf
my-small.cnf
my-large.cnf
my-innodb-heavy-4G.cnf
Based on your requirement you could copy the file as /etc/my.cnf
MyISAM Storage engine creates following major data files in the mysql data directory normally /var/lib/mysql (exact you could find in the /etc/my.cnf)
File Extension Purpose
.frm table definition
.MYD table data
.MYI table indices
InnoDB Storage Engines create the following files for data storage.
.frm Table structure
ibdata1 Default Data file.
Configure Mysql to start on reboot automatically
We have link the mysql.server to various runleve startup scripts
ln /etc/sfw/mysql/mysql.server /etc/rc3.d/S99mysql
ln /etc/sfw/mysql/mysql.server /etc/rc0.d/K00mysql
ln /etc/sfw/mysql/mysql.server /etc/rc1.d/K00mysql
ln /etc/sfw/mysql/mysql.server /etc/rc2.d/K00mysql
