If not then you need to start it. If it is running or dead then I'd be surprised. Check the server's status (running, stopped, dead, etc): service mysqld status If its not been started then the status will look like: $ service mysqld status mysqld is stopped If it is stopped then become root: su - Start the service: service mysqld start Start the service at boot if you desire: chkconfig mysqld on You can also use the graphical service control utility found under Main Menu -> System Settings -> Server Settings if you prefer.
