Hi Team, I couldn't start the mysql in the red hat 8, due the bad configuration in my.cnf and non availability of data file for the database. I want to reinstall the mysql, kindly let me know how to.
I have also tried "rmp -e <File>.rpm' and removed the files from /var/lib/mysql. Reinstalled everything, still i couldn't make it.
