| Questions about MySQL on OS X Server
I've got some questions about MySQL on OS X Server and hopefully someone here will know the answers.  - MySQL 4.1.16 was installed on our server from a package downloaded from a non-MySQL website. The README file in the MySQL installation directory states to look at the COPYING file for the GPL (Free) license and the 'MySQLEULA.txt' file for commercial versions. The MySQL installation directory has ONLY the COPYING file. Is it safe to assume, then, that the FREE distribution of MySQL 4.1.16 was installed?
- When I run the "mysql --version" command in a terminal window, the MySQL version reported is:
mysql Ver 12.22 Distrib 4.0.24, for apple-darwin7.0 (powerpc)
Yet when the server boots, I see a message about MySQL 4.1.16 starting. Does MySQL 4.1.16 identify itself as 4.0.24 on Mac OS X or something or do we have a "tweaked" MySQL installation?
Thanks!
Peace... |
