Create "/root/.my.cnf" (see the attachment) 4. This is a fresh installation, so now it is time to initialize your DATADIR: # emerge --config percona-server Configuring pkg... * Creating the mysql database and setting proper * permissions on it ... * Command: '/usr/share/mysql/scripts/mysql_install_db' '--basedir=/usr' --log-warnings=0 --loose-skip-grant-tables --loose-skip-host-cache --loose-skip-name-resolve --loose-skip-networking --loose-skip-slave-start --loose-skip-ssl --loose-skip-log-bin --loose-skip-relay-log --loose-skip-slow-query-log --loose-skip-external-locking --loose-skip-log-slave-updates --user=mysql '- -datadir=///srv/mysql/data/' * Starting mysqld ... * Command //usr/sbin/mysqld --log-warnings=0 --loose-skip-grant-tables --loose-skip-host-cache --loose-skip-name-resolve --loose-skip-networking --loose-skip-slave-start --loose- skip-ssl --loose-skip-log-bin --loose-skip-relay-log --loose-skip-slow-query-log --loose-skip-external-locking --loose-skip-log-slave-updates --user=mysql --user=mysql - -log-warnings=0 --basedir=//usr --datadir=///srv/mysql/data/ --max_allowed_packet=8M --net_buffer_length=16K --defa ult-storage-engine=MyISAM --socket=//var/run/mysqld/mysqld5831.sock --pid-file=//var/run/mysqld/mysqld6106.pid .2014-05-19 10:45:35 0 [Warning] options --log-slow-admin-statements, --log-queries-not-using-indexes and --log-slow-slave-statements have no effect if --slow-query-log is not set 2014-05-19 10:45:35 0 [Warning] TIMESTAMP with implicit DEFAULT value is deprecated.
