zivan56 Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 Some times entering 127.0.0.1 or localhost wont work, so for the setup script try entering your LAN ip or if you have a direct connection, your WAN ip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zivan56 Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 Btw, if all else fails you can always install the RPM from ( http://www.rpmfind.net ), because some extra settings may be needed for MySQL on Redhat. It does not matter where you install it, just ask long as all its files are intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
