 |
|
just yesterday or something i was installing apache, i knew it was in the portage tree so i installed it like that
to find i didn't have a
(/usr/local/apache2/)
structure, which totally sucked, cause ive used apache before and thats what i knew
so i ended up
and download the source .tar and compling like that, and i had the /usr/local/apache struc.
what gives |

Almost everything gets installed in /usr, not /usr/local. Binary-only ebulds get put in /opt.
This explains where/why everything goes where it goes. Check out the section '3.Filesystem Locations'

If you're feeling lost after an emerge, and need a list of files you just installed, 'qpkg -l' from gentoolkit can do that nicely:
and for example

The same way nikai said:
This will show the location of everything the mysql package installed.
It may take some getting used to, but once you know that everything is in a uniform location in the filesystem, you won't have to remember which software installs something in /usr/local or /opt or /usr/share etc. |

yea i made that post i guess at the same in nikai did, and i got gentoolkit installed and did
but i still can find where the table are put in the drive, only reason im doing this is cause somehow my privleges in sql got bad messed up and i cant do anything with any account (create/drop etc) |

| mysql stores its data in /var/lib/mysql (data is created at runtime, so it does not show up in epm or qpkg) |
