You should be using 'safe_mysqld &' (v3.2) or 'mysqld_safe &' for v4.0.
Did you look at the <hostname>.err file to see what the problem was? This file should be in the same location as <hostname>.pid file. -Chait -----Original Message----- From: David Kramer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, July 11, 2002 9:46 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Cant start server after reboot - Please Help! I tried to automate the starting and stopping of the mysql service upon reboot. I created the two links for mysql.server to the associated rc.d directories(rc0.d and rc3.d). I rebooted my RH 7.2 box and nothing happened. The real kicker is that I cant even manually start mysqld "mysqld start". Im completely lost here, please help!
