After installing FC2 i realized that the mysql server version installed was 3.x. I wanted to install version 4.0, so i got the rpm package from mysql website and i installed it on my system. Now it seems like mysql server is not running. I get no output for the command "ps -A | grep mysql". Also, when i try to connect to mysql server using mysql client, i get the following error message: ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) It seems like mysql server does not automatically start when i boot up my computer... how can i start it manually? Where in the filesystem does mysql server get installed after installing the rpm? Though, when i run the Gnome Service config. utility, i can see mysql service on the list, with a checkmark, and it appears to be running... i'm so confused about this. Please help. Thanks in advance.
