We were affected by the power outage last week and I think people should be aware - I'm not sure if it's fixed (I'm virtually certain it is not), but the default rpm install of 4.0.12 has mysql starting up in runlevel 4 only. When our power was restored, RedHat went to runlevel 3 and mysql never started on its own.
To find out if you are affected run: /sbin/chkconfig --list mysql Then, run: /sbin/runlevel If chkconfig shows the 3:off and runlevel shows N 3, then mysql will not start on its own. This is probably because I don't have X running by default on the DB machine. I consider this a good thing. To rectify the situation: /sbin/chkconfig --level 3 mysql on -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
