most likely place for mysql on a server

Pablo

which mysql doesn't throw it up
and its not in /usr/bin/mysql

anyother ideas ?

Assuming you are using redhat ,

locate mysql


If that doesnt work and its was installed from a rpm, run rpm -qpl mysql.xxxx.rpm and it will list the contents of the rpm. You will be able to see the directory structure of the package.

this may work for other distros.

thanks , i've a few directories to look at now (running red hats 7.4 i think )

try which mysql

Mysql is most likely not installed, its not a default package.

mysql the client should be in /usr/bin
the server is called mysqld (funnily enough ), but should only be started using safe_mysqld.

if which mysqld or locate mysqld dont reveal the binary its not installed. or try find / -name mysqld.

other than that get the packages from
http://ftp.esat.net/mirrors/ftp.redhat.com/redhat/redhat-7.3-en/os/i386/SRPMS/mysql-3.23.49-3.src.rpm <- source for server/client.

Regars,

Ugh, the redhat mysql package *shudder* - install from source

flamegrill

Static, thats a SRC RPM, hence the SRPM in the url.

/usr/local/psa/mysql/bin/mysql

You're on a Plesk machine Pablo, the package is custom built for security, which is why it's not in a standard location. It should have been in your PATH though.
