MYSQL problems
 

Hi all,
I have installed mandy 9 with msql and the client libraries. Im dont know much about mysql but I do now there is a special command to start the service for the first time. If anyone knows this command I would be very grateful if they would share it with me. Mysql docs are very disapointing at the moment.
Thanks all.

you just need to start the background server?

service mysqld start
or
/etc/init.d/mysqld start

might not be a d at the end.,... can't remember

as far as the docs go they are aimed towards actually using the system, while it may be useful for information on how to start the daemon it's a very standard procedure. mysql uses a server, therefore there WILL be a service entry for it, therefore it WILL start using those commands, just like all other similar services, so it's pretty generic
