Re: MySQL not starting at boot-Fedora Core 3
Hello. Are you able to start MySQL server by this command? service mysqld start I think you should put the correct values for the basedir, datadir, PATH variables at the beginning of the /etc/init.d/mysql file.

mysql not starting at boot
Hi All,
below is my /etc/init.d/mysql content, but, mysql is not starting at
boot on Fedora3. Have I missed something fundamental.? I need mysql to
start at boot for snort to connect to it. Currently, snort gives an
error stating it can't connect. Cheers.

Re: mysql not starting at boot
To have mysql to start at boot you need to inform the inetd (daemon) that
mysql should be launched at one of the 6 levels:
Use chkconfig to have mysql start in one of the level (2,3,4,5,6)
5 being X windows.
There are two ways to check that mysql will be loaded:
- 1 - by checking the file in /etc/rc.d/rcX.d (X being a number: 1,2,3,4,5,6)
- 2 - by executing chkconfig
execute the following to see if mysql runs at any level
/sbin/chkconfig --list | grep mysql
you should see at which level mysql is running.
mysql 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off
If it is all off then execute:
/sbin/chkconfig --level 2345 mysql on
(this will make sure that mysql runs at level 2, 3, 4 and 5)
On my machine (Fedora 2) it runs at 2,3,4 and 5.
Once you have it run at a level you can verify it by looking at rcX.d (X being
a level):
for example to check that it runs at level 4:
go to /etc/rc.d/rc4.d/
and look at a file named ...mysql
S20mysql
(S means it will be picked up by the inetd daemon)
K30mysql
(K means Kill and mysql wont start)
good luck
Laurie
