Installing MySQL
The default openSUSE 10.3 configuration does not install the MySQL database server. As
long as you have the installation CD-ROMs or a connection to the Internet, you can
install it quickly and easily using the YaST Software Management module, as shown in
Figure 29.1.

FIGURE 29.1 Using YaST to install MySQL.
To install MySQL on your system, complete the following:
1. Run YaST and navigate to Software, Software Management.
2. In the Search field, enter mysql; then select Search.
3. In the Package column, select the following packages, as shown in Figure 29.1:
. mysql
. mysql-client
. mysql-shared
. perl-DBD-mysql
There are many other MySQL-related packages that you could install. Most of these packages,
such as apache2-mod_auth_mysql, are used to enhance the functionality of the
MySQL service. You can, optionally, install these packages as well using the same technique
as installing the main MySQL package.
When you are done with your installation, you are highly encouraged to run the YaST
online update so that you can install any recent patches that have been released for the
MySQL database.
