Slackware 13.1 and Mysql

Putting it here as a reminder. Been having this problem (default installation) since 10.0. Mysql comes default with Slackware as far as I can remember, but somehow not configured by default. Try to run Mysql right after installing and major fail awaits you. So here’s a little short guide on what to do post installation of Slackware 13.1 with Mysql.

  • su
  • chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/rc.mysqld
  • mysql_install_db
  • chown -R mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql
  • chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/rc.mysql
  • /etc/rc.d/rc.mysqld start
  • /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password yourpassword
  • mysql_secure_installation
