That's because the rpm installation puts there a file "mysql" to be easier to configure starting services.... If you want mysql to start everytime your machine reboots, have a look at, for example "chkconfig" command or: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Automatic_start.html If you have /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql i guess you can try the following: First be shure that mysqld is running (with "ps auxw | grep mysql" or "netstat -ta | grep mysql"...). You may also stop the server with /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql stop Start the server: /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql start If it gives errors about creating/writing mysql.sock, check the permissions/ownership of directory /var/lib/mysql.. Check the manual for the right permissions... Good luck, On Tue, 2003-01-28 at 00:38, Pedro Leite wrote: > Any help from good samaritans?
