Any reason why you are a proponent of building it from source, rather than using the built in packages, which are much more secure, stable, and easier? Almost all major distributions have some mysql package, and if they aren't using a major distribution, they probably don't need this guide to install it. Also its kind of conflicting to say they already have to have Ghost++ running and then tell them to download the .zip file (which is large), I mean you can just

Code:

wget http://ghostplusplus.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/mysql_create_tables_v2.sql

Also it's kind of iffy to tell them to use root for their ghostdb.

But it is a nice illustrious guide good work

Any mod know why this was moved back here?

[ilaggoodly]

yea, sorry i asked them to move it back a while ago because i thought it could use some discussion

But yeah, the improved version is definitely a top notch guide on using ghost++ with mysql (on linux obviously). Only minor improvements I could think of would be changing GRANT UPDATE, DELETE, etc. to GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES and maybe include a link to
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/installing-binary.html for those people who really want to install it themselves

good work Sixline

Oh ok, thanks for clearing that up and also thanks for some of the suggestions earlier. If anyone has any questions or problems feel free to make a post while it is still in this section.

Sorry to move this back up here, but will a mod please move it back into the tutorial section.

Also I have seen some posts about people having problems using MySQL and I am sorry I haven't been responding, I have been very busy lately. I will try to find some of them and try to find some solutions.

Thanks,

Sixline
