I'm quite a beginner, and i need to launch a mysql database in order to use a database for apache&php.
We i installed my fedora, i check the mysql box but now, when i look for the mysqld (with a find / ...) i do not find any.When i type mysql i got this error :
[root@portailDEM ~]# mysql
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
[root@portailDEM ~]#
so I checked the permission on this file and i found out that it didn't exists anyway
In fact the repertory /var/lib/mysql doesn't even exist.
I though that during the installation, the server will installed by itself, because of the checked box but ...
How can i do to launch the server ?
thanks a lot

It looks install but it is only the client ?
Correct. Install the server as follows:
# yum install mysql-server
Have it start at every boot:
# chkconfig mysqld on
Start it now:
# service mysqld start
