try:

Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start

set the password:

Code:

mysqladmin -u root password my_Password

log in to the server:

Code:

mysql -u root -p

It says:

root@dylan-server:~# /etc/init.d/mysql start
bash: /etc/init.d/mysql: No such file or directory

Is mysql installed?

Code:

sudo apt-get install mysql

You need to install the server as well:

Code:

sudo apt-get install mysql-server

The package you installed is just a php module for mysql
