The build from scratch on a redhat machine is not 100% straight forward. I believe the S90mysqld link in the redhat /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/ looks specifically for the boot file in /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld in order to start. It's auto generated on a rpm but if you wanted to try subqueries which is only available in mysql4.1, redhat9 has no rpm built for that. That's why I needed to build from scratch.
Some of the shortcuts are removed when I typed rpm -e to get rid of the old stuff. One of those files would be the my.cfg in the /etc. That's very annoying when you have a fine-tuned my.cfg and in a flash it's gone. The other file is the boot script in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ . That missing file had me stumped for a day or two. RH9 boot starts everything in the rc3.d or rc5.d with a good "S" (for start) in the appropriate folder a "K" file is used to kill the fill during that sequence. So is Kirti needed to Start the mysql server during boot and he was using a system that boots to a graphical login then he would need to do this. cd /etc/rc.d ln -s ../init.d/mysqld rc5.d/S90mysqld rm rc5.d/K15mysqld ../init.d/mysqld start Or for a command line booted machine. cd /etc/rc.d ln -s ../init.d/mysqld rc3.d/S90mysqld rm rc3.d/K15mysqld ../init.d/mysqld start Or to have it boot in all conditions. cd /etc/rc.d ln -s ../init.d/mysqld rc2.d/S90mysqld ln -s ../init.d/mysqld rc3.d/S90mysqld ln -s ../init.d/mysqld rc4.d/S90mysqld ln -s ../init.d/mysqld rc5.d/S90mysqld rm rc2.d/K15mysqld rm rc3.d/K15mysqld rm rc4.d/K15mysqld rm rc5.d/K15mysqld ../init.d/mysqld start This is just a RedHat thing.
