When I try to start the database with : mysql -h host -u user -p
I get the response : mysql: not found What does this mean? Installation went smoothly as far as I could tell. Also, when I try to start the database with : bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql & It starts the mysqld daemon from the right directory, and then promplty says : 031117 18:07:39 mysqld ended Any help would be appreciated as I couldn't find anything in the manuals about troubleshooting.
