Re: Can't get MySQL running on RH7.0 at all.
The only think I did was copy 'my-medium.cnf' to 'my.cnf' and ran mysql_install_db (successfully) and then ran mysqld as instructed which didn't run successfuly and reported the errors below. I didn't change anything in my.cnf, I didn't touch anything at all... Is there a way that I can start fresh without reinstalling the OS? - Original Message - From: Dana Powers [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Mark Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 18, 2001 1:04 AM Subject: Re: Can't get MySQL running on RH7.0 at all.

Mysql should be started like any other service: service mysqld start (which is equivalent to /etc/init.d/mysqld start. To make it start on every boot, do chkconfig mysqld on or run ntsysv/tksysv and enable it there. -- Trond Eivind Glomsrød Red Hat, Inc. - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?
