Plaease help me!!!!!!!Problem starting sql on the sensor

[Juan Fernandez <Juan.Fernandez () deltathree com>]

Hi,

 

I am installing sql on the sensor (fedora). I am following the manual at the
snort site, this is the problematic part that I have problems with:

 

Set MySQL to start automatically.

Copy the file "mysql.server" from the support-files subfolder (it is under
the source for

mysql. If you downloaded everything to /root/snortinstall, then the path
will be

/root/snortinstall/mysql-4.0.15a/support- files) to the /etc/init.d folder
and call it mysql

(the command to copy it from the support- files directory is "cp
mysql.server

/etc/init.d/mysql")

Use the following commands to create symbolic links in the startup folders
for run levels

3 and 5. MySQL will now start automatically when you boot up.

cd /etc/rc3.d

ln -s ../init.d/mysql S85mysql

ln -s ../init.d/mysql K85mysql

cd /etc/rc5.d

ln -s ../init.d/mysql S85mysql

ln -s ../init.d/mysql K85mysql

cd ../init.d

chmod 755 mysql

 

 

This is what I did on the sensor:

 

[root@snort_jr_dmz support-files]# ps -ef|grep mysql

[root@snort_jr_dmz rc5.d]# cdmod 755 mysql

.

[root@snort_jr_dmz rc5.d]# cd ../init.d

[root@snort_jr_dmz init.d]# chmod 755 mysql

[root@snort_jr_dmz init.d]# /etc/init.d/mysql start

/etc/init.d/mysql: line 1: my_print_defaults: command not found

Can't execute /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe from dir /usr/local/mysql

 

The 2 lines above is the error I am receiving? What is wrong?
