 | View Full Version : Problem while installing MySQL package! Adriaan 01-27-2002, 01:50 PM When installing the MySQL packaged (from the link below) I got this error: Problem installing package component: MySQL-3.23.37-1.i386.rpm http://pkg.nl.cobalt.com/packages/raq/4/ When could cause this? Adriaan Chicken 01-27-2002, 01:59 PM Did you uninstall all previous versions? Try loading it via ftp to the directory and installing it from there? Adriaan 01-27-2002, 02:10 PM MySQL was installed before but not with a package, because the guy who installed it didn't know there where special packages for it. Now I've removed that 'old' MySQL, but still gives this error. How do I install with FTP/Shell then? Adriaan Chicken 01-27-2002, 02:47 PM Well, something wasn't removed completely (my guess), and I don't think you'll be able to throw it on there until it is completely removed, though I'm not sure how to help you from here... Adriaan 01-27-2002, 02:52 PM Man, this is not nice.. I need MySQL, my site has been down for to many days now :( OK, I think I removed every good: [root home]# locate mysql /var/lock/subsys/mysql /home/chiliasp/odbc/direct/locale/en_US/LC_MESSAGES/ivmysql15.po -- And isn't there a way to install a package and see what errors there are? Adriaan mlx 01-27-2002, 04:14 PM I don't think that you will have luck with the pkg if it doesn't work yet. So you should get the RedHat package at http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-3.23.html and try to install it that way. Also try using --force and or --nodeps if it doesn't work. Good luck. Adriaan 01-27-2002, 06:55 PM Thanks mlx, I will try that and inform if it worked or not. Adriaan Mirage-ISP 01-27-2002, 07:16 PM Just sent you a pm with some instructions. Pm me if you need more help. Been in your shoes before and boy does that hurrrrrrrt :bawling: Pingu 01-27-2002, 08:57 PM Installed rpm's on my raq3 like this: rpm -Uvh MySQL-???.i386.rpm --replacefiles The --replacefiles was necessary to get the installation to go through. Dunno if Adriaan has rpm's already installed though Adriaan 01-28-2002, 08:31 AM Originally posted by Pingu Installed rpm's on my raq3 like this: rpm -Uvh MySQL-???.i386.rpm --replacefiles The --replacefiles was necessary to get the installation to go through.
