Redhat is funny. I have 7 and had tried everything in the books to 
get mysql back up and running after a shutdown. Fortunately, I had an 
experienced programmer who had helped me set it up. I queried him and 
set back this command:
                /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld restart
That did the trick. 
It seems v.7 comes with all the packages I either had installed, or 
tried to install on 6.2, and everything else boots with Apache, but 
they left off mysql. Go figure.

Apache also does not respond to the typical shutdown and restart 
commands given in the Apache manuals. Redhat has it set up to respond 
to their own commands.
