<del> Hi All & Derek and Mikkel
Thanks for the information. Derek sorry I did not mean to be insulting. I simply do not understand and am very happy for your help which I thank you very much for. I have checked I do not have a file called S90MySQL in any location. I especially checked that it does NOT exist at /etc/rc5.d/S90mysql. Nor do I have a file /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql. What I do have is a file /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql-max. I had taken a look at this file earlier but dismissed it assuming that it is not the correct file. MySQL-Max was placed on both boxes at one point in time and the removed. On reinstallation of MySQL standard MySQL was installed not MySQL-Max. This may be the source of the configuration file issue. Currently both boxes have MySQL installed. I have printed the MySQL-Max file and it is a 4 & 1/2 pages #10 font program which I can read some of - not much since I am not a programmer. One interesting thing I did notice is that it refers to checking a configuration file called my.cnf which I do not have. As I know that I do not have the technical expertize to create a my.cnf file I would appreciate someone sending me a copy of a simple one that functions.
