Problems starting MySQL

jeberga · 03-11-2007, 01:38 PM

I installed MySQL on my Fedora 6 computer, and when i try running "service mysqld start" it returns this error.

Initializing MySQL database: Neither host 'localhost.localdomain' nor 'localhost' could be looked up with
/usr/bin/resolveip
Please configure the 'hostname' command to return a correct hostname.
If you want to solve this at a later stage, restart this script with
the --force option
[FAILED]

What do I need to do? I really dont want to reinstall Fedora.

Well I found the awnser on another site using google. All i had to type was
"sudo hostname 127.0.0.1" and then rerun the command.
