Hi,

Check your /etc/profile or your $HOME/.profile and add the /usr/local/mysql/bin to your PATH.

Hi,

You can add it by export command but put it in .profile of that user at the end of PATH and /etc/profile if you wish to enable this for all users.

PATH=xxx,yyy,zzzzz,/usr/local/mysql

HTH,

Just add that path into /etc/PATH file. It will be read out automatically with /etc/profile for every user login.

If you want to specifically add to some users then,

go to their profile in $HOME/.profile and put like,

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin

or simply in /etc/profile check username as,

if [[ $USER = "test" ]]
then
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin
fi

Note: Don't use like, export PATH=/usr/local/mysql/bin. It will loose your default PATH settings.
