[SOLVED] mysqld missing after installation

[123tazz]

Hello,
I have just installed Red Hat 9

I have selected mysql while installation.

But I don't see mysqld in the services list.
Why ???.

There are few commands like mysqladmin
don't seem to work. It's not there.

Any idea what I missed ?

Any errors during installation?

No errors.

I chose apache,php & mysql upon installing red hat 9. Everything works, accept mysql.

I read some where that I need to do the following:
-> make sure you have a /etc/my.cnf file (there are example files for different size servers in the /etc/ directory) --- DONE
-> run mysql_install_db --- CANT GET THIS TO WORK
-> that actually gives you instructions on what to do next (namely set the root password)
-> lastly you need to make sure that your system has a script that starts mysqld during boot usually in /etc/rc,d or /etc/init.d --- DONT KNOW HOW TO DO THIS

Any help ??

Yes, you probably have /etc/init.d/mysql or something, you could just type "/etc/init.d/mysql start" to start the service.

Got it working.

I somehow forgot to install mysql server, i only had mysql client installed

Thanks !
