Hello -- I'm new to Linux and am trying to get a server running Apache/MySQL/php up and running. I've installed Apache and MySQL and have confirmed that they are working fine, however, I would like to have the Apache and MySQL daemons run when I boot the machine, and not have to start them manually.

From what I can read from the documentation on both Apache and MySQL, the RPM installs should have set that all up automatically, and (from what I can tell) the boot scripts in /etc/init.d seem to be configured correctly, but I'm not completely familiar with how the scripts in the /etc/init.d directory are handled internally by Linux, so I can't be sure.

If anyone could give some suggestions on things I could check or fix to get this up and running I would appreciate it!

The distribution and version would be real helpful. Without that, all the suggestions would be based on guesswork whether you system uses SysV init or BSD-style init.
