Can someone tell me where I can get an rpm file for Mysql to run on Linux RH9?

Almost any rpm can be found at rpmfind.net

Also Red Hat has copies of its certified mysql releases well hidden on its site.

Or just ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/updates/9/en/os/i386/mysql-*.rpm (RH build 3.23.58).

I'd use the source.. RPMs do not often play well with other things, in particular, apache and PHP..

you it is really pretty simple to compile things together.

download the source then,
(I PREFER THIS LOCATION )
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql

by default rpms general shove crap into /sbin/ or /usr/sbin/

/usr/local is for anything I install above and beyond the base RH9.

If you must, RH9 packages on the CD's MYSQL I am just not sure which version.. I general get the latest SRC from http://www.mysql.com/ SNAPSHOTs. I prefer STABLE4 for now until the PHP libs and apache libs withit.

see my compile script here..
#!/bin/bash
wget http://www.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-4.0/mysql-4.0.18.tar.gz/from/http:
//mirror.services.wisc.edu/mysql/
tar -xzvf mysql-4,0.18.tar.gz
cd mysql-4.0.18
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql
make
make install

Pretty simple cut and paste installation.. You may need to modify it to check current mysql revision level. I rebuild my SNORT box periodically and have to modify the version level parameter to "wget" and "tar extract" the correct file.

Make sure in the wget command you have no carriage returns!!!

Dear Robert Menefee

MySQL rpm is available in the RH9 CDBundle. itself.If you have not installed mySQL at the time of OS installation you can easily install it using the addremove program .It will prompt you corresponding CD which contains the RPM Package for mysql
