The MySQL directory `${MYSQL_DATADIR}' should be owned by the user
`${MYSQL_USER}' and group `${MYSQL_GROUP}'. This can be done with:
chown -R ${MYSQL_USER}:${MYSQL_GROUP} ${MYSQL_DATADIR}
If this is a new installation, you will likely want to set up the
initial database tables by using the following command:
${PREFIX}/bin/mysql_install_db --user=${MYSQL_USER}
After the tables are set up and the MySQL server is running,
please remember to set a password for the MySQL root user!
This is done by running both:
${PREFIX}/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password 'new-password'
${PREFIX}/bin/mysqladmin -h `hostname` -u root -p password 'new-password'
The "Enter password:" prompt is asking for the existing password.
As there is no existing password, just press the Return key.
There is a script distributed with MySQL that can help you lock down
an installation. This script has been installed to
${PREFIX}/bin/mysql_secure_installation.
Please see the manual and the MySQL web site for more instructions.
