Getting mysql4 to run as a Service
I can start my MySQL server with
# cd /usr/local/mysql
# bin/safe_mysqld --user=myuser --pass=mypass
Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/data
----
Then the server is started and it all works fine, the only thing is i can't just make a shell script and stick it in /etc/rc.d/rc.local because when it run those commands and it says its starting it just hangs there
so when i put it in rc.local it hangs while its booting up and i have to go into rescuse mode and fix it.
And when i try to launch /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --user=root
i get
Fatal Error: Can't Open Privilege tables: Table 'mysql.host' doesn't exist
and i'm not sure what to put in that file
any help would be greatly appreciated
