In SuSE you should be able to start the MySQL server by: rcmysql start
or rcmysql restart rcmysql is a symlink to the /etc/init.d directory -----Original Message----- From: John Macloy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 02, 2002 2:26 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: AW: AW: mysql wont start on SUSE I noticed that my Server works with [mysql] user = root and than start with mysqld but when I tried to start with the runlevel editor it doesn't works. Perhaps a other Person in this list no the answer? The mysql_install_db create two folders in the var/lib/mysql pfad. The folder are mysql and test. In mysql are the table definitions for passwords etc. If I solve the problem I will write you an Email John -----Ursprungliche Nachricht----- Von: Jacques Steyn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Montag, 1.
