I am new to Mysql and trying to install it. I installed it with "yum install mysql" When I looked at '/etc/my.cnf' all the files mentioned are missed on the disc. Searching google I found that one has to start safe_mysqld, but also this is missing. I could download an rpm version, but I am afraid to go into conflict with other parts, because I will use this to run a package 'moregroupware', which uses PHP and apache. What am I doing wrong?
