Hi all,

I have a server running Mandriva Enterprise Server 5 and have configured apache/mysql/php, the problem i have is that when i reboot the server i have to manualy start mysql.
Can someone please tell me what file i need to configure to enable mysql to start at boot up and what line of code i need to enter to enable this.

many thanks

I got the following with a Google search:
http://mandrivausers.org/index.php?/...t-boot-solved/

A piece from the site where the link points to:

Quote:

Alternatively, to add these commands to start when you boot the machine, edit /etc/rc.local and add these to the bottom of the file:

/usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld

Did you install from RPMs or build from source?

If the former, which is the proper way, unless you have a very compelling reason otherwise, startup/shutdown scripts will have been installed in /etc/init.d/
These can be added to the startup/shutdown sequence by either manually linking to the requisite runlevel control directory (/etc/rc.d/rc?.d/ or by using chkconfig.

Building from source is all very well for the experience, but it forces you to do all your updates manually and often is not entirely 'in keeping' with the specifics of the distro.

Thanks for your quick reply, i installed from RPM, now that i have put correct config in rc file all works fine.

thanks
