mandriva fails to start /etc/init.d/mysqld

Hi. First post in here, kinda nervous.

My problem is this: I followed "The perfect setup guide for Mandriva 2007" over at howtoforge, but when I try to start mysqld with /etc/init.d/mysqld start , all I get is "No such file or catalog".

And since I'm quite new to Linux, I'm not sure where to turn.

Can you post the output of doing

Code:

$ls /etc/init.d

johnnysd · 11-24-2006, 04:49 AM

Code:

ls /etc/init.d

gives me

Code:

/etc/init.d@

Does that mean that there's nothing there?

Try the following

Code:

$cd /etc/init.d
$ls

or

Code:

$ls /etc/init.d/

Got it working. Just had to install the mysql stuff from the control center. But thanks for your help
