I am not able to run mysql pls help me.
 

Dear all,
I installed MySQL-3.23.49a-1.i386.rpm in to my redhat linux 7.0 machine.

now service is running fine(all the service related to mysql)

I am not able to open the database..

I tried following way

#mysql mysql

I got a message like command is not found

I entered like this way also

#mysql

mysql command is not Recognizing at all..

do i need to set the path or classpath?..

please give me suggestion

Run
find / -name mysql
it should show you all 'mysql' files. If not, check also with MySQL and similar.

try 'safe_mysqld' logged in as root. this should start the daemon. then you can register as root and set up users and so on. hope that helps.

mysql running
 

Hi,
You need to know where you have your mysql\bin directory first. I would use locate mysql
cd to mysql/bin

type./mysql -u mysql -p
this will prompt you for a password.

Alternatively type ./mysql -u root
and this will probably let you in as most people forget to set the password for root when installing mysql.

The mysqld_safe command is the initial start of mysql. If this does not work, repost and I will find my instructions that I knocked up about all this.
best,
