I was able to login and generate a database instance, but then got a little crazy and tried to automate the starting and stopping of the mysql service. I copied the mysql.server file to my /etc/init.d directory and then created the necessary links to the rc0.d and rc3.d directories. When I rebooted the mysql were not started, plus when I tried to manually start the services, trying both mysqld and mysql.server, I get an unable to located the mysql socket file. Can anyone explain to my what Im doing wrong here? Even though I didnt setup the automation piece correctly shouldnt I still be able to start the service manually? Also what is the difference between mysqld and mysql.server? Are they the same? Within the my.cnf I noticed the user assignment is equal to mysql, currently Im logging in as root, could the problem be that I need to generate a user called mysql? Sorry for the 20 questions, just trying help someone help me trouble shoot!
