unable to START MySQL server at BOOT "systemctl enable mysqld.service" does not work

I am running FEDORA 20, and just installed MySQL/MariaDB. Okay, so now when I run the command to have Mysqld run at boot automatically. I run the command.

systemctl enable mysqld.service
"failed to issue method call: no such file or directory."

I get a error message saying "failed to issue method call: no such file or directory."

unable to START MySQL server at BOOT "systemctl enable mysqld.service" does not work

I am able to do everything else correcty. Everything else works, except when I run this command. it does not work.

Is this a known issue? Is this a known BUG? Is there a way to fix this?

I am running Fedora 20 MySQL/MariaDB 5.5 version.

Any help is greatly appreciated

How did you install the Apache server and php and maria on fedora ?
using yum ?
or
did you build and manually install everything ?

If yum then from WHAT repo ?
the fedora or remi

Code:

su -
yum install httpd

or a groupinstall ?

Code:

su -
yum grouplist 
----- and from that list ----
yum groupinstall "Web Server"

did you use the install dvd ?

Alright, let's start from the beginning.

1. I downloaded Fedora 20 live CD ISO onto my USB. I used the Live CD USB method to install Fedora 20 on my machine.
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/...USB_Media.html

2. I used YUM to install LAMP. using the guide below. I did yum install httpd, then yum install mysql, yum install php, yum install phpmyadmin,
https://www.digitalocean.com/communi...-php-on-fedora

Everything else works fine, except when I run this command "systemctl enable mysqld.service" Because I don't want to manually start the mysql service everytime I reboot the Server.

Maybe, It has something to do with installing from the USB media? I did not think that would cause any issues? It could be possible installing from a USB might cause issues?

I was reading online thinking this could be some sort of bug.

so you did set up "sudo"
it is not set up by default do to it being a HUGE security hole

you as the end user have to open that hole if you decide to .

or use the normal fedora " su " and " su - "
these two commands do two VERY different things .

step 1

now is apache starting ?
as in do you get to the "congratulation Apache server is running "
Default page that is at
http://127.0.0.1
or
http://127.0.0.1:80
or whatever YOU set localhost and localdirectory as in the httpd.conf
something like this

Step 2
then YOU need to make a "phpinfo.php" file and place it in docroot
then run it
you should see the DEFAULT phpinfo page
http://us3.php.net/phpinfo
a page looking like this

step 3
Then go on to maria and phpmysql

add the default start up table using the terminal
login to the database using the default
user= user
password = password
reset those

step 4
configure the phpmyadmin config file for the database

Have you read , then REREAD , then reread the rereadding
for the Apache documentation
the php documentation
the maria DB documentation
the phpmyadmin documentation

think of it this way

installing and setting up a RUNNING and WORKING web server is like

a 400 level collage class that is PASS / FAIL
and you 100% MUST !!! get a 4.0 in the class

so treat this as you would for that VERY expensive class

I also used this guide to install.

Yes, Apache is working perfectly fine. I can hit my website from outside world. I am able to access my site from WAN IP.

PHP is working fine. No issues. I have configured php to my needs.

I am not sure what you are talking about in this STEP 3. I have configured everything. The only problem is "systemctl enable mysqld.service" command is not working.

I am working on this right now. I am reading the MariaDB documentation as we speak. because I just learned that Fedora has stopped using MYSQL and moved to MariaDB. So, this is confusing and new to me.

I still don't understand why the command is not working? Is there something wrong with my setup?

found the answer, There was a issue with the command structure.

"systemctl enable mariadb.service" is the one should be used to start MySQL at boot.

thanks for the help. I really appreciate the quick response.
