I have downloaded and when I tried to start mysql I receieved this:
root@vps2 [/]# service mysql start
Starting MySQL ERROR! Couldn't find MySQL manager (/usr/local/bin/mysqlmanager) or server (/usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe)

Please guide me.

mysql daemon is started using the command
on fedora.

It shows this:

root@vps2 [/]# service mysqld start
mysqld: unrecognized service

Tell me what should I do now?

I have found these errors...
root@vps2 [/etc]# service mysqld start
mysqld: unrecognized service
root@vps2 [/etc]# service mysql start
Starting MySQL ERROR! Couldn't find MySQL manager (/usr/local/bin/mysqlmanager) or server (/usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe)
root@vps2 [/etc]# /etc/init.d/mysql start
Starting MySQL ERROR! Couldn't find MySQL manager (/usr/local/bin/mysqlmanager) or server (/usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe)
root@vps2 [/etc]# /etc/init.d/mysqld start
-bash: /etc/init.d/mysqld: No such file or directory
root@vps2 [/etc]# /etc/init.d/mysql.server start
Starting MySQL. SUCCESS!

It says Success but it doesnt really started I cannot access mysql command see this:
root@vps2 [/etc]# mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
mysql.sock does not exist in /tmp. even mysql.sock does not exist anywhere..what should I do now?

What output does command rpm -qa|grep mysql gives?
On my computer, it shows
You will be getting error 2002 if mysqld isn't started. As mysql isn't installed properly, you won't be able to login.

Here is the output:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
root@vps2 [/]# rpm -qa|grep mysql
root@vps2 [/]#

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

^Means mysql isn't installed properly.

I have solved this by disabling Selinux..
Thanks anyway..

Now I m facing 2 another problems...

1, I have to mention full path to start mysql i.e. /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -u root -p
Why I have to use full path?

2, MySQL automatically TERMINATE in less than a minute.

Please guide me.

Thanks in advance..

^You didn't mention that you got any SELinux message. Next time onwards, provide all symptoms of your problem to get a speedy solution.

smaj84_1 ... I merged 3 of your closely related threads,
and ask you to not do this again in the future. Stick
with one thread if the problem relate to one issue.

Should I see you doing this again I'll just close your
dupes, and set a link to the existing threads in the
closure notice.


Cheers,
Tink

Alright I will be careful next time...
