Jake,<br><br>Although you probably already know this, I'll say it for those reading this that may not:<br><br>The command 'mysql -u root < mc.sql' runs the MySQL client program (mysql) and logs into the database as user 'root' (-u root). The '<
mc.sql' portion redirects the file 'mc.sql' into the mysql client program. The 'mc.sql' file contains all of the necessary SQL commands to properly create the database and insert the initial data.<br><br>You can view the SQL statements by simply doing 'cat
mc.sql'.<br><br>Of course, the above commands will only work if they can find 'mc.sql', which is assumed to be in the current working directory.<br><br>- Joe<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 8/15/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">

I knew what the error meant, it was fine. I'm not that much of a newbie. ;)<br>What I think is misleading about the documentation I've found for installing<br>mythtv, both on the <a href="http://mythtv.org">mythtv.org</a>
wiki and from the guide i was using, was that<br>the instructions said, "to setup the initial database, run this<br>command: /usr/share/mythtv/database> mysql -u root < mc.sql"<br><br>I was under the impression by running that command, mysql was going to create
<br>database "mc.sql", especially since mc.sql didn't exist in the database<br>directory. So, I ran locate and found the file<br>in /usr/share/doc/packages/mythtv/database/mc.sql<br><br>That is what stumped me.
