How do i get started configuring MySql

I have a Xserve G5 running OS X 10.5.6. I am new to this and I haven't got much experience using MySql on OS X Server. Can any one help explaining how to configure MySql for mear mortals. Starting the service is of corse simple but the steps involved from that point on are where im getting lost.
my apologies for the vagueness however the literature on the internet is vary vague and limited.
~Thanks

Hi,
I have setup mysql for use with a rails project using the version installed with server 10.5 and associated directory dependencies as given in the Web Technologies setup manual. I think there are other posts providing efforts to install a separate mysql from scratch.
Anyway - my procedure was setup MySQL Service in Server Admin
Initial Conditions:
I wanted my databases to be stored on an external drive:
1. Server -> Settings -> Services with MySQL checked. Save panel.
2. Set permissions on /Volumes/<ext drive folder path>
owner = _mysql, group = admin
owner rwx, group rx, world rx (r=read, w=write, x=execute)
MySQL Settings panel
1. Check – Allow network connections (if connecting remotely)
2. Set database location to - /Volumes/<ext drive folder path>
3. Set MySQL Root Password – xxxxxxxx
4. Save and start MySQL service
5. In MySQL logs verify MySQL daemon started
and datadir = /Volumes/<ext drive folder path> with log entries for service up and running
6. In Terminal create a database:
mysqladmin –u root –p create <database name>
Note that database names are lowercase (case insensitive file names)
from here you can access the database with the tool of your choice. For a ruby on rails application I was able to upload data with fixtures and interact with the data through the script/console.
HTH,
Harry

  • How can I get started using MySQL?

    I'm really new to jdbc and was wondering if someone could offer some help on where to get started with using java and mysql. I'm not sure if I need extra packages or what and resource of info would be great.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    if I knew your environment I would have given you a better response, anyway, for now take this as a general guide
    All the instructions here are documented either in JDBC Tutorial or MySQL documentation.
    1) download the lastest JDBC Driver from mysql website:
    http://www.mysql.com/downloads/api-jdbc-stable.html
    You download either one gz or zip files depends on your OS and unzip it.
    2) place the jar file:mysql-connector-java-3.0.9-stable.jar into your CLASSPATH;
    3) Thats it, just follow the direction in the JDBC Tutorial, like normal,
    MySQL driver class name is: org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver
    the URL: jdbc:mysql://<host>:<port default=3306>/<database>?autoReconnect=ture
    and change the host, port , and database according to your settings!
    Note: I really do not recommend you using the JDBC-ODBC bridge, because it is a solution only if you do not have a direct JDBC driver to your database, its overhead anyway.
    Good luck!

  • I'm planning on making my own Podcast channel for my world of warcraft videos, how to I get started?

    I'm planning on making my own Podcast channel for my world of warcraft videos, how to I get started? I'm using my MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6) for my video editing and using my HP Pavilion, Windows 7, g6t-2000 Notebook PC 64-bit for my video recording.

    You may find my 'get you started' page on podcasting helpful.

    It's written with audio podcasts in mind but will explain the general principles for you - ths concept of a 'feed' is the same for audio and video.

  • Adobe CreatePDF - How do I get started?

    How do I get started in Adobe CreatePDF

    Good day,
    Great question!  To get started with Adobe CreatePDF, you must first get logged in to the service.  You can log in to the service by visiting: http://createpdf.acrobat.com/signin.html and entering your Adobe ID (the email address you used to subscribe to the service) and your password.
    Once you're logged in, you'll be presented with several options:
    Select the option you'd like to use.  If you click 'Convert a File to PDF', you'll be presented with a prompt to select a file from your hard drive to submit to the CreatePDF service.  The 'Combine Files to PDF' is similar, but allows you to select existing PDF files or documents that still need to be converted.  The 'Export PDF to Word/Excel' button will allow you to convert existing PDF files you may have back to Word or Excel documents.  Lastly the 'Print to PDF Setup' button will bring you to instructions on how to install the Adobe CreatePDF desktop printer (Windows-only) to help with converting files types not specified on this list here: What file formats does Adobe CreatePDF support?
    If you have any questions, please let us know!  We're happy to help!
    Kind regards,

  • HT4059 How do I get started on downloading a book on my iPad? Kindle edition? . I don't want to buy a book just pay for rental?

    How do I get started on downloading a kindle book on my iPad? I don't want to buy one.

    Ask your local library if they offer electronic books for checkout and if so what system they use. Then you can look to see if there is an app for that system available for iOS devices. As RG said, neither Apple nor Amazon offer electronic books on a rental basis other than Amazon's Kindle textbook rental.

  • How can I get started if I am not an advanced user but still want to config ATS660 external trigger?

    There r 2 groups VIs provided by the company: easy VIs and advanced VIs. And set external trigger VI is in the latter one. The manual indicates that only the person who r very familar with the ATSApi Application Programming Interface should attempt using the Advaced VIs. Unfortunately I am not that kind of advanced user. If I want to learn all these stuff(like how to call the VIs in correct order), how can I get started?
    I will be really appreciated if I can get some help here.  all I have now is the ATS660 User Manual and ATS-VI Software Manual. I wonder if there should be other useful manuals, like NI-DAQ user manual that can help to understand how to call/config the device in right order.
    Thank u in advance.
    Dyna----an eager learner

    ya, u r right. That was what happened to me.
    The company is Alazartech. This is a PCI waveform digitizer.
    I've visited the www.alazartech.com , and found no further info about how to call this subVIs in correct order. So I am asking here , hope that any one is familiar with this stuff.
    Anyway, thank u for ur reply.
    I will keep focusing here and expecting some replies.

    Hi,
    Welcome to the    Discussions
    This Link has a second menu under the iChat icon
    http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/versions/ichatvers4/howtos4.html
    See Also iChat 101
    Work through the menu Left to right.
    Differences.
    You can use an AIM valid name from AIM or Apple and a Jabber ID (Many Public Jabber servers or a GoogleMail ID enabled for Talk).
    This will give you access to Buddies on two of the major IM services.
    The Video Quality is generally better in iChat.
    On an Intel Mac iChat 5 uses 30 Frames a sec even down to the first MacBook Pros that are 3 and 1/2 years old.
    The Pic size can vary depending how fast the processor is but the general size is 640 X 480 pixels (0.3 megapixels)
    The Internal iSights of later Macs can produce a higher resolution but iChat sticks (where it can) to this size
    It is backwards compatible with iChat 2 through 4 and AIM (On an PC) from AIM 5.5 through to the current AIM 7.2.x.x (Although success and quality can vary depending on how the Buddy is also set up).
    iChat always uses a set of dedicated ports to Video or Audio Chat and does not resort to using common Mail App ports or the web browsing port to get around any firewall.
    Video and Audio Only Chat are Peer-to-Peer connections.
    These last two make iChat more secure.
    iChat to iChat you can Video up to 3 other people at once or 9 others in a Audio Only chat.
    You get iChat Screen Sharing (with an Audio chat from iChat 4 onwards
    You get iChat Theatre for displaying Pics or other File's documents as the "video"
    Other than that they apps that can text or do Video or Audio Chats

    I resently purchased an ipad and i think i could help. Does it look like a plug and itunes? Thats what came up on mine. Try pluging it into your laptop and go on itunes. They say the new ipad with ios5, you dont need your computer, then i cant help you there. But go to an apple store they are very helpful. They helped me recently and they are very nice. They could help anyone, from old people, to youngsters like myself. I hope i helped you. I tried my best :)......keep in mind, im only 12
    P.s. i purchased my ipad before ios 5
