I have had a little trouble setting up mysql and creating a database for xbmc.

 

What I need to finish it off now is to have these two lines run on start up, I think. Edit: I should have clarified that those commands need to be run IN mysql. So I have no idea on how to do that automatically.

 

CREATE USER 'xbmc' IDENTIFIED BY 'xbmc';

GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'xbmc';

 

To get the database set up I ran this (mysql-unmenu-package.conf), but running the install script in unmenu gave me this error:

 

error:

/usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock' exists!

 

mysql-unmenu-package.conf I ran, of course edited to my config:

This doesn't really bother me because I just needed mysql installed. So I just ran the script above line by line but stopped after:

PACKAGE_INSTALLATION cd /usr ; echo "/usr/bin/mysqld_safe --datadir=/mnt/disk1/mysql/ --user=mysql" | at now

 

Then got into mysql and ran:

CREATE USER 'xbmc' IDENTIFIED BY 'xbmc';

CREATE database xbmc_video;
CREATE database xbmc_music;

GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'xbmc';

 

I now have the databases working for XBMC. I just don't know how to get them working again on reboot.

 

Also how much of auto install script do I need to run to get mysql installed, as I don't actually need "Helium"

 

Auto install script:

SCRIPT_DIRECTORY=/boot/unmenu
installpkg mysql-5.0.67-i486-1.tgz
[ ! -d /mnt/diskX/_mysql ] && mkdir /mnt/diskX/_mysql
chown -R mysql /mnt/diskX/_mysql/

[ ! -e /mnt/diskX/_mysql/.unmenu ] && /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h localhost --password=my_password password 'my_password'
[ ! -d /mnt/diskX/_mysql/Helium ] && /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h localhost --password=my_password create Helium
[ -d /mnt/diskX/_mysql/Helium ] && mysql -u root -h localhost --password=my_password --database=Helium -e "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON Helium.* TO root@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'my_password' WITH GRANT OPTION;"
[ -d /mnt/diskX/_mysql/test ] && /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h localhost -f --password=my_password drop test
touch /mnt/diskX/_mysql/.unmenu

 

Thanks

Upon reboot you would need at a minimum:

 

cd /boot/packages

installpkg mysql-5.0.67-i486-1.tgz

cp /boot/my.cnf /etc/my.cnf

cd /usr ; echo "/usr/bin/mysqld_safe --datadir=/mnt/disk1/mysql/ --user=mysql" | at now

touch /mnt/disk1/mysql/.unmenu

 

This assumes the data directory was originally on disk1. 

It also assumes it is looking in /etc/my.cnf for configuration variables and you had previously saved your desired configuration in a file on the root of the flash drive (/boot/my.cnf)

Hi bnevets27

What is the command to do the following?

 

Then got into mysql and ran:

You would type something like this:

mysql -u root -p

It will prompt for the password you set.
