The HP-UX DEPOT format packages can be installed using the
swinstall command. You should install the
ncurses and zlib libraries
before installing the MySQL DEPOT package. You can use the free
software depothelper tool to install these
packages and any dependencies for you automatically.
To install using the MySQL DEPOT packages, follow this guide:
Download the MySQL DEPOT package from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/. You must decompress the package before installation:
root-shell> gunzip mysql-5.1.48-hpux11.31-ia64-64bit.depot.gz
Install the DEPOT package using swinstall:
root-shell> swinstall -s
mysql-5.1.49-hpux11.31-ia64-64bit.depotMySQL will be installed into a directory matching the depot package name, within
/usr/local. For convenience, you may want to create a symbolic link to the installed directory, for example:root-shell> ln -s mysql-5.1.49-hpux11.31-ia64-64bit mysql
Your package is now installed. You should complete the configuration of MySQL by creating a user and group:
root-shell> /usr/sbin/groupadd mysql root-shell> /usr/sbin/useradd -g mysql -d /var/lib/mysql/ -s /bin/false mysql
Create the standard database using the new user/group you have created, and set the permissions:
root-shell> cd /usr/local/ root-shell> scripts/mysql_install_db --user=mysql root-shell> chown -R root . root-shell> chown -R mysql data
Finally, secure your new installation by setting the root passwords, and then start your MySQL server using the
mysqluser:root-shell> mysql_secure_installation root-shell> mysqld_safe --user=mysql &
