[mythtv-users] mysql setup help

[junk_inbox at comcast.net]

Tim, 

  From a fellow MythTV Newbie...   The "#" marks mean you have to execute the commands as ROOT.  To do this, type "su", then enter the ROOT password and your prompt will change from a "$" to a "#".   (By entering the "#" marks, you've made them comments...)

  If the command listed in Jarod's guide is preceded by a "$", it needs to be executed as your 'mythtv' user, otherwise if it's preceded with a "#" as 'root' via the method above. 

Here's an example of what it should look like:
[tgkspike at localhost tgkspike]$ su
Password:
[tgkspike at localhost tgkspike]# /sbin/chkconfig mysql on
[tgkspike at localhost tgkspike]# /etc/init.d/mysql start
[tgkspike at localhost tgkspike]# mysql -u root mysql
[tgkspike at localhost tgkspike]# mysql
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
<etc...>


To get back to your 'regular' userid, type 'exit' at the # prompt, and you'll be returned to yourlocal user account again:
[tgkspike at localhost tgkspike]# exit
[tgkspike at localhost tgkspike]$
