Apache Friends Support Forum

Hi there. This is my first post

I'm having the same problem

Everything seems to be working properly:

Code: Select all

/opt/lampp/lampp status
Version: XAMPP for Linux 1.7
Apache is running.
MySQL is running.
ProFTPD is running.


But I can't get to start mysql in my shell:

Code: Select all

/opt/lampp/bin$ mysql -u root -p
The program 'mysql' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install mysql-client-5.0
bash: mysql: command not found


Does anyone have any idea what is going wrong here?

Thanks

Code: Select all

/opt/lampp/bin$ mysql -u root -p

Code: Select all

./mysql -u root -p

Does anyone have any idea what is going wrong here?

"man bash" can give you a hint, how your shell is searching for programs.

Thank you very much for your help, Wiedmann
I did a quick read on 'man bash', and now I understand.
Now I can access mysql properly.
