ELS (Easy Linux Security) Doesn't Recognize Mysql

[laztrix]

Hello Guys,

I'm trying to optimize my server using /http://www.servermonkeys.com/els.php however it fails at the most crutial part. When I run

els --optimizemysqlconf

I'm getting this:

Checking MySQL version. This may take a few seconds...
MySQL was not detected.
Please ensure the MySQL-server RPM package is installed.

I have cpanel install mysql and all and it's up and running. I've also run rpm -qa | grep -i *mysql* but it's comming back emty as well as rpm -qa | grep *mysql* does.

How can I correct this?

Thanks.

According to the page you linked, that script only works for MySQL 4.0/4.1... do you have one of those versions of MySQL?

It also only works on these operating systems:

• Red Hat Linux 9
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, 4
• Fedora Core 1, 2, 3, 4
• CentOS 3, 4

Those are pretty old -- are you using one of them?

Mysql 5+ and CentOs 5. That figures...

Do anyone know a similar script that works like els?
