[Koha] MySQL problem

[Michael Sauers]

Ok, next question. I recall creating a root password for MySQL after installing it but these instructions say to not log in as root. So, as far as I know I’ve not yet created any MySQL users/passwords. I’m assuming I need to do this first…?

 

Sorry for the noob questions but this is a giant experiment to see how easy (or not) this is for someone of extensive Windows experience and beginner-level Linux experience (i.e. Me) so we can tell our librarians across the state how “easy” it is to install.

Hey Michael,

    It just means to run some commands within the mysql shell.  There are several different ways to do this.  Perhaps the easiest is to get to the command line - just open a terminal window (in Linux) or a DOS command window (in Windows) and type:

mysql -u username -p

and it should ask you for the mysql password associated with the username.  Enter that, and it will say 

mysql>

just enter that line

show variables where variable_name LIKE "character_set%" OR  variable_name LIKE "collation%";

and you'll get the list.

MySQL – Server Configuration – I’ve added the four lines listed to the my.cnf file. It now says to “connect to mysql ad the (non-root) user and type:”  I have no idea how to do this.
