I got a package mysql. I was trying to install this, but failed. Where am i wrong?

Seems to me mysql is allready installed.

To install an rpm, you need the rpm.

As I have seen you post, Mysql already installed at your system
the above output means that there is a installed mysql(5.1.35-1.fc11 --> version of the mysql) by using this rpm -qa and grep option you can check whether there is a specific application installed or not

If you want to install or upgrade a rpm, the rpm file should be there at your current directory(name.rpm file), rpm -ivh option for fresh installation and rpm -Uvh upgrading the exiting version.

the above output is correct because you don't have rpm files on that current directory.

method should be
rpm -ivh name.rpm
rpm -Uvh name.rpm

Thanks for your all answers. I went to the folder and tried to install, now I got dependecies error. I went to software upgrade, there is not such a perl related update. I tried "yum", too, seems like i have already this, or not..

Where am i wrong?

already installed?
 

that's true when I do "rpm -qa | grep mysql", I can see package, does that mean I already installed package, or I need to rpm -Uvh command?

If package is already installed, why can't i find any service mysql from service? As you can see "service mysql status" unrecognized service.

1. Did i install already "mysql" package?
2. If yes, how can i run mysql? why can't i find mysql service from service list?
3. If I already install mysql correctly, do i need to still download "perl(DBI)" for dependency?

Thanks for your knowledge and answer.

As i have referred to your previous post your system not existing with any older version of
so if you want to install this rpm just use rpm -ivh name.rpm,
if there is any dependencies for package installation you have install the dependencies too. rpm having option to ignore the dependencies (--nodeps) but i don't think this is a good practice to install packages.

Actually "service mysqld start" its referring whether is there startup script with name of mysqld at /etc/rc.d/init.d directory, therefore please makesure the startup script is existing on the above mentioned location.
