Manual talk:Installation/Creating system accounts

gorgonz: Deactivated link 'your_machine' to protect readers, since this link leads to some japan page, which is definitely not, what the author intended. Used a blank for this purpose, but other users might know a better way ;)

gorgonz: also added the correct start command of mysql for opensuse. Just don't know slackware. Please verify, if slackware users really call mysql*d* script, otherwise correct it

Restart Command List Unnecessary
The listing of restart commands from various distributions is out of place and should be deleted. I'll do it myself next week if no one else has time before then. --Jarsyl 05:13, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

'%' in GRANT command did not work
On the following version of mysql:

mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.67, for pc-solaris2.11 (i386) using readline 5.1
 * 1) mysql -V

I had to change this command:

mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wikidb.* TO 'wikiuser'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH GRANT OPTION ;

To

mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wikidb.* TO 'wikiuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH GRANT OPTION ;

Otherwise, wikiuser could not even see the wikidb. Since this is not a generic solution, I will not modify the manual page.
