NAME
6       mysql_install_db - MySQL data directory initialization script
7

SYNOPSIS
9       mysql_install_db [options]
10

DESCRIPTION
12       mysql_install_db initializes the MySQL data directory and creates the
13       system tables that it contains, if they do not exist. Because the MySQL
14       server, mysqld, needs to access the data directory when it runs later,
15       you should either run mysql_install_db from the same account that will
16       be used for running mysqld or run it as root and use the --user option
17       to indicate the username that mysqld will run as.
18
19       To invoke mysql_install_db, use the following syntax:
20
21          shell> mysql_install_db [options]
22
23       mysql_install_db needs to invoke mysqld with the --bootstrap and
24       --skip-grant-tables options (see Section 4.14.2, “Typical configure
25       Options”). If MySQL was configured with the --disable-grant-options
26       option, --bootstrap and --skip-grant-tables will be disabled. To handle
27       this, set the MYSQLD_BOOTSTRAP environment variable to the full
28       pathname of a server that has all options enabled.  mysql_install_db
29       will use that server.
30
31       mysql_install_db supports the following options:
32
33       ·  --basedir=path
34
35          The path to the MySQL installation directory.
36
37       ·  --force
38
39          Causes mysql_install_db to run even if DNS does not work. In that
40          case, grant table entries that normally use hostnames will use IP
41          addresses.
42
43       ·  --datadir=path, --ldata=path
44
45          The path to the MySQL data directory.
46
47       ·  --rpm
48
49          For internal use. This option is used by RPM files during the MySQL
50          installation process.
51
52       ·  --skip-name-resolve
53
54          Use IP addresses rather than hostnames when creating grant table
55          entries. This option can be useful if your DNS does not work.
56
57       ·  --srcdir=path
58
59          For internal use. The directory under which mysql_install_db looks
60          for support files such as the error message file and the file for
61          populating the help tables. This option was added in MySQL 5.0.32.
62
63       ·  --user=user_name
64
65          The login username to use for running mysqld. Files and directories
66          created by mysqld will be owned by this user. You must be root to
67          use this option. By default, mysqld runs using your current login
68          name and files and directories that it creates will be owned by you.
69
70       ·  --verbose
71
72          Verbose mode. Print more information about what the program does.
73
74       ·  --windows
75
76          For internal use. This option is used for creating Windows
77          distributions.
