dear sir
good wishes.
i am using enterprise redhat linux 3. mine rpm version of mysql is
-3.23.58-1 and it was installed by the time of linux installation.
when i use if the rpm is installed or not by using the comman rpm -qa
| grep mysql
it shows
mysql-3.23.58-1
libdbi-dbd-mysql-0.6.5-6
mysql-devel-3.23.58-1
now i am sure that mysql is installed.
but
when i run whereis mysql 
result is :
/usr/lib/mysql usr/bin/mysql /usr/include/mysql /usr/share/mysql 
/usr/share/mysql/man/mnn1/mysql.1.gz

my .cnf file is under /etc and its contents are look like this

[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

[mysql.server] 
user=mysql
basedir=/var/lib

[safe_mysqld]
err-log=/var/log/mysql.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid

when i run: service mysqld start
it shows unrecongnise service

how can i run my sql in my machine?
