</title>
<para><application>My<acronym>SQL</acronym></application> is a widely used and
fast <acronym>SQL</acronym> database server. It is a client/server
implementation that consists of a server daemon and many different
client programs and libraries.</para>

<title>Installation of <application>My<acronym>SQL</acronym></application>

<para>For security reasons, running the server as an unprivileged user
and group is strongly encouraged:</para>

useradd -c mysql -d /dev/null -g mysql -s /bin/false mysql</command></userinput></screen>

running the following commands:</para>

<title>Command explanations</title>
<para><parameter>--libexecdir=/usr/sbin</parameter>: This switch installs the
<command>mysqld</command> daemon in an appropriate location.</para>
<para><parameter>--localstatedir=/srv/mysql</parameter>: This switch forces
<application>My<acronym>SQL</acronym></application> to use
<filename class='directory'>/srv/mysql</filename> for database files and other
variable data.</para>
<para><parameter>--enable-thread-safe-client</parameter>: This switch compiles a
thread-safe <application>My<acronym>SQL</acronym></application> client library.
</para>
<para><parameter>--enable-assembler</parameter>: This switch allows using
assembler versions of some string functions.</para>
<para><parameter>--without-readline</parameter>: This switch forces the build
to use the system copy of <application>readline</application> instead of the
bundled copy.</para>
<para><option>--enable-local-infile</option>: This switch enables the
LOAD DATA INFILE <acronym>SQL</acronym> statement.</para>
<para><option>--without-bench</option>: This switch skips building the
benchmark suite.</para>
<para><parameter>CPPFLAGS="-D_GNU_SOURCE" --with-named-thread-libs=-lpthread</parameter>:
This environment variable and configure switch enable building on
<acronym>NPTL</acronym> systems.</para>
<para><command>make testdir=...</command>: This installs the test suite in
<filename class='directory'>/usr/lib/mysql/mysql-test</filename>.
<acronym>BLFS</acronym> is currently seeking a method to omit the installation
of the test suite altogether.</para>
<para><command>ln -sf mysql/libmysqlclient{,_r}.so* .</command>: This command
makes the <application>My<acronym>SQL</acronym></application> shared libraries
available to other packages at run-time.</para>

<title>Configuration Information</title>
<para>There are several default configuration files available in
<filename class="directory">/usr/share/mysql</filename> which you can
use. Create <filename>/etc/my.cnf</filename> using the following
command:</para>
<screen><userinput><command>cp /usr/share/mysql/my-medium.cnf /etc/my.cnf</command></userinput></screen>
<para>You can now install a database and change the ownership to the
unprivileged user and group.</para>
<screen><userinput><command>mysql_install_db &amp;&amp;
chown -R mysql:mysql /srv/mysql</command></userinput></screen>
<para>Further configuration requires that the
<application>My<acronym>SQL</acronym></application> server be running:</para>
<screen><userinput><command>mysqld_safe --user=mysql 2&gt;&amp;1 &gt;/dev/null &amp;</command></userinput></screen>
<para>A default installation does not setup a password for the administrator,
so use the following command to set one. Replace
<replaceable>[new-password]</replaceable> with your own.</para>
