What is the command line to check if MySQL is installed in my server?

Type: mysql -v

This will display the version info, for more info, go to Mysql Command-line Tool (http://www.mysql.com/doc/m/y/mysql.html)

Bob ;)

I got the command not found? :confused:


[root@cheng bin]# mysql -v
bash: mysql: command not found

Type:
whereis mysql

and it should return a path like

mysql: /usr/local/mysql

:)

I got this.. I still can't issue any mysql command.


[maint@cheng /]$ whereis mysql
mysql:
[maint@cheng /]$

Then i don't think you have it installed. :(

You can also type: locate mysql

If this does not return anything, you havent installed it for shure.
Hope it helps.

Any instrustions on how to install it?

Get the latest version of MySql at www.mysql.com. Then visit http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/PHP/SoothinglySeamless/page6.html for instructions on installing it.
