After I installed apache, mysql, php, etc and then installed webmin (and virtualmin), it says that mysql is not available, however it's installed and running. I would like to uninstall(if that's possible) and reinstall. How the heck do I uninstall mysql to do a fresh compile and install? :eek:

I'm relatively new to linux, so pardon me if this is a dumb question. Thanks in advace for any help.

depending on the linux flavor, you can modify the modules in webmin, most likely webmin can't see the paths where MySQL is installed

RH9 - what is the easiest way to find where it installed without just searching all over the place for it?

Edit: Well the more I look the more I'm not sure it's installed right. I can't seem to find mysqladmin...*sigh*

Not sure if this is worth anything, but have you tried...

prompt>locate mysql

also try 'whereis mysql'

and to uninstall anything that you compiled and installed in Linux, basically just delete the folder that is created.

Thanks! I found what I'm looking for. I'm learnin...

:beer:

another sugestion, would to find the sources from which you compiled mysql, and inside the directory where you compiled from, run "make uninstall" .
