On F10 it's

[root] # yum install mysql mysql-server

should do it on F12 as well.

Should start straight away after installing.

If not:

[root]# /etc/init.d/mysqld start
Starting MySQL: [ OK ]

Is this ok [y/N]:

If not, something is likely broken in your repos, or you're not connected to the Internet, or you're behind a proxy and yum does not know about it...

yes.. thank you .. now the DL is starting.. thank you once again... how do i start its services.. is it
# mysql -u root?

giulix · #6 3rd December 2009, 04:15 PM

According to CD-RW should be something along these lines:

Code:

su -c "/etc/init.d/mysqld start"

or

Code:

su -c "service mysqld start"

or, better still, click on System->Administration->Services, look for the mysqld service and start it from there. You'll be asked to supply root's password. You can also configure the service to start at boot by clicking the "Enable" icon on the toolbar
