Erik meant that you need to have "mysql-server" package installed, not just "mysql" package. Here's an example: $ rpm -qa|grep mysql mysql-3.23.58-2 mysql-server-3.23.58-2 $ rpm -ql mysql-server-3.23.58-2 /etc/logrotate.d/mysqld /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld /usr/bin/mysqladmin <--- Here it is /usr/bin/safe_mysqld /usr/libexec/mysqld /usr/share/doc/mysql-server-3.23.58 /usr/share/doc/mysql-server-3.23.58/my-huge.cnf /usr/share/doc/mysql-server-3.23.58/my-large.cnf /usr/share/doc/mysql-server-3.23.58/my-medium.cnf /usr/share/doc/mysql-server-3.23.58/my-small.cnf /var/lib/mysql /var/run/mysqld So you need to have package named mysql-server-$version installed. In fact, you do not have MySQL server daemon at all if you don't have mysql-server package. Hope this helps, -- Lauri Jutila Chief Linux Fellow, Reforge lists@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.reforge.fi
