When you install Mysql with yast it creates lots of mysql directories.
Which directory is the database directory?



If you mean 'where is the actual data stored' then it
is /var/lib/mysql/'your-application-database-name'. If you want to know
where the configuration files are stored it is /usr/share/mysql.
However, the 'main' configuration file is /etc/mysql.cnf

At least that's my 'observation'...

Why ain't there a GUI interface to operate the piece of crap? You have
to do all this secret back door crap to get this thing working.


Well there is a GUI for MySQL ! Try not being such a crapy mouth if you
want help though. I'll just take it to mean you're frustrated though and
I'll try to help you.

Install:

1. mysql-administrator
2. mysql-query-browser
3. mysql-gui (needed by #2)

P.S. If you want to 'see' where all your installed rpm's files are I
recommend installing 'xrpm-2.2-3', which you can get here: (shift + left
click to download !!)

ftp://ftp.kddlabs.co.jp/pub/Linux/packages/redhat/Haoli/redhat-5.2/RPMS/noarch/xrpm-2.2-3.noarch.rpm

Newer versions have dependency issues in my experience. Also, do NOT use
this package as root as this package does not work well Yast's data
base !!!! But it is, in my experience, the fastest way to see all the
installed rpm's with a nice gui interface. Just expand the program to top
and bottom of your screen by dragging the edges to make the slider bar
bigger as this makes it easier to move up and down in the gui. Click on
the application you are looking for and then click on the 'list files'
button to see every file associated with the application...

Chill out man !!
