Ok. There are (in my experience) two sorts of server. There are those such as the telnet-server, talk-server and time that run out of xinetd, with all their config files in /etc/xinetd.d. Then there are other servers (usually with d suffixing their name - d for daemon), these can all be started with the service command. To start the sql server you'd do: service mysqld start and (if you want it to load on every boot): chkconfig mysqld on HTH, Chris Norman <!-- chris.norman4@xxxxxxxxxxxx --> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ali Helmy" <alihelmy@xxxxxxxxx> To: "Fedora Core List" <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, March 07, 2006 8:46 AM Subject: MySQL Hey, I installed MySQL from the FC4 CDs and then updated it to the latest release using yum update... now, how exactly do I start the MySQL server on my system?
