Thanks Photon...

<quote>Try something like:

shell> bin/safe_mysqld -u user_name &

Where user_name is your MySql login name.

To see if mysqld is running type:

Shell> bin/mysqladmin version

You should see something like:

I was having trouble getting the mysql server started and this tip did the trick but i have a question... I have the start mysql option set to yes in rc.config i believe it is, but it doesnt seem to want to stay on... i tried rcmysql start, it would say ;

starting service MySQL
starting mysql-daemon with database from /var/lib/mysql
021103 09:46:32 mysqld ended

anyway, it would statr and stop really fast. i entered bin/safe_mysqld -u user_name & in the console and it started then left the cursor droped down on the next line with no console prompt so i opened another console window typed rcmysql status and it says running, so cool!

What i would like to know is how to make it do that from start up with out having to type bin/safe_mysqld -u user_name & all the time. also is that the proper way to start mysql server or is it just a way to ensure everything should be working fine. If there is a proper way i wouls sur elike to know. Thanks alot!

mysqld

MYSQLD(8)						       MySQL Database System							 MYSQLD(8)

NAME

       mysqld - the MySQL server

SYNOPSIS

       mysqld [options]

DESCRIPTION

       mysqld, also known as MySQL Server, is the main program that does most of the work in a MySQL installation. MySQL Server manages access to
       the MySQL data directory that contains databases and tables. The data directory is also the default location for other information such as
       log files and status files.

       When MySQL server starts, it listens for network connections from client programs and manages access to databases on behalf of those
       clients.

       The mysqld program has many options that can be specified at startup. For a complete list of options, run this command:

	   shell> mysqld --verbose --help

       MySQL Server also has a set of system variables that affect its operation as it runs. System variables can be set at server startup, and
       many of them can be changed at runtime to effect dynamic server reconfiguration. MySQL Server also has a set of status variables that
       provide information about its operation. You can monitor these status variables to access runtime performance characteristics.

       For a full description of MySQL Server command options, system variables, and status variables, see Section 5.1, "The MySQL Server". For
       information about installing MySQL and setting up the initial configuration, see Chapter 2, Installing and Upgrading MySQL.
