RE: MySQL newbie question
yes... at least I thought so, although I think I may not have started it properly. I have set it to an on state, using chkconfig --level 2345 mysqld on. Afterwhich, if I do a chkconfig --list mysqld, it reports that mysqld is running. However, I have found reference to using the command mysql.server start in the online help manual. When I run that, I get [root@Acillatem mysql]# ./mysql.server start [root@Acillatem mysql]# Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql 020115 13:38:41 mysqld ended I think I've missed something somewhere... a ps -ax does not report the daemon running, so that's the big part of my problem. -Original Message- From: Rick Emery [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2002 1:44 PM To: David Burklin; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: MySQL newbie question did you start mysqld ? -Original Message- From: David Burklin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2002 1:36 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: MySQL newbie question Hello, and sorry for the bother with what is probaby a very simple problem.

Thanks for any assistance you can provide. type ps -A | grep mysql to see if mysql is running. If its not then try /etc/init.d/mysqld start to see if there are any error messages. If it just wasn't started when you booted type ntsys and scroll down the menu until you reach mysqld and hit space which should put a little star by it and therfore get it working - 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?
