I am getting conflicting information on how and who should install MySQL on our virtual host account. The hosting company has Solaris servers that seem to have MySQL installed under /usr/local/mysql. We have asked them to create a database for our domain. They have replied and said the web developer must INSTALL MySQL on our domain. My understanding is we would need ROOT access to do a MySQL install, is this correct? Is it normal to have a separate MySQL installation for each domain on a shared server? Or is the hosting provider supposed to create a Database in the shared install of MySQL, then setup rights for our domain only? Any insight into our problem is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Spencer
