noob MSQL install question.

[bookduck]

I'm a lnux noob with running unbutu server and have spent many days (and a good few nights) trying to get this software to install and getting nowhere. Makes me think, 'if I can't get the installation working, the rest of the product does not stand much chance?'

I'm following this wiki http://www.zabbix.com/wiki/doku.php?...:ubuntuinstall

I've typed in this from -> 3 - Create a zabbix database and populate it:

sudo mysql -e"create database zabbix;" ----> then
sudo mysql -e "grant all privileges on zabbix.* to zabbix@localhost identified by 'enter-password-here';" ---> firstly I would not work with out a space after the '-e', and secondly I get a GNU nano screen (attached pic) into which I typed in the line below, but now what do I do now?

mysql -D zabbix -uzabbix -pzabbix < /home/zabbix/zabbix-1.6.4/create/schema/mysql.sql

thanks

Instead of using that particular set of commands, I use this:

Create a zabbix database and populate it:
Start mysql – sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start

sudo mysql
create database zabbix;
grant all on zabbix.* to zabbix@’localhost’ identified by ‘password’;
quit;

From /home/zabbix/zabbix-1.6.4/

cd create/schema
cat mysql.sql | mysql -uzabbix -ppassword zabbix
cd ../data
cat data.sql | mysql -uzabbix -ppassword zabbix
cat images_mysql.sql | mysql -uzabbix -ppassword zabbix
