MySQL server can be started in a number of ways. As I haven't used SuSE for several years I have forgotten the exact configuration it uses. But in general, here are some general possibilities:

(1) I think the SuSE MySQL server RPM comes with the startup script, so it will be automatically started on startup (if without errors). Look inside /etc/init.d for the startup script. It may be called 'mysql' or something like that. Then

/etc/init.d/mysql start

If it cannot be started, you may need to read the log file to see exactly what the problem is. I think the log files are kept in /var/log/mysql. You may need to really dig it out if it is not.

This is generally the preferred way of starting a MySQL server.

(2) You may also run the mysqld_safe executable directly. But this can be a bit tricky, and if you don't have much experience it is possible that this may lead to files created in improper ownerships which create problems for future if you are to start this way.

Before you do this, please verify you really have the MySQL server installed. With most Linux distributions, the MySQL server and client are put in separate packages and so it is possible that you have installed the client but not the server. If you have server installed you should find some executables (usually in /usr/bin) with the name 'mysqld' or 'mysqld_safe' which correspond to the MySQL server.

When I installed the MySQL RPM with SuSE 7.3 several years ago the server would not start out of the box, as it was found that the file ownership were incorrect. The docs at mysql.com is quite overwhelming, but is useful in tracking down problems and fixing the common ones.

linux-version

LINUX-VERSION(1)					      General Commands Manual						  LINUX-VERSION(1)

NAME

       linux-version - operate on Linux kernel version strings

SYNOPSIS

       linux-version compare VERSION1 OP VERSION2

       linux-version sort [--reverse] [VERSION1 VERSION2 ...]

       linux-version list [--paths]

DESCRIPTION

       linux-version operates on Linux kernel version strings as reported by uname -r and used in file and directory names.  These version strings
       do not follow the same rules as Debian package version strings and should not be compared as such or as arbitrary strings.

       compare VERSION1 OP VERSION2
	      Compare version strings, where OP is a binary operator. linux-version returns success (zero result) if the  specified  condition	is
	      satisfied, and failure (nonzero result) otherwise.  The valid operators are: lt le eq ne ge gt

       sort [--reverse] [VERSION1 VERSION2 ...]
	      Sort the given version strings and print them in order from lowest to highest.  If the --reverse option is used, print them in order
	      from highest to lowest.

	      If no version strings are given as arguments, the version strings will instead be read from standard input, one per line.  They  may
	      be suffixed by arbitrary text after a space, which will be included in the output.  This means that, for example:

	      linux-version list --paths | linux-version sort --reverse

	      will list the installed versions and corresponding paths in order from highest to lowest version.

       list [--paths]
	      List kernel versions installed in the customary location.  If the --paths option, show the corresponding path for each version.
