We’re going through a hardware upgrade at work and we were given the chance to take home our old computer when they swapped it out with a new one. \u00a0Yeah, needless to say I jumped at the chance to have my old 2.2Ghz with 4Gb of RAM dev box as my new Linux server. \u00a0I installed FC 16 and had to monkey around with MySQL to install it, eventually uninstalling the default instance and downloading it direct from MySQL. \u00a0This first gave me problems installing MediaTomb with this cryptic error:<\/p>\n
file \/usr\/share\/mysql\/charsets\/README from install of mysql-libs-5.5.18-1.fc16.i686 conflicts with file from package MySQL-server-5.5.18-1.linux2.6.i386<\/p>\n
So by removing the default and installing the generic I managed to cause some damage. \u00a0I went into webmin and uninstalled the following:<\/p>\n
MySQL-client 5.5.18-1.linux2.6 Applications\/Databases MySQL – Client
\nMySQL-devel 5.5.18-1.linux2.6 Applications\/Databases MySQL – Development header files and libraries
\nMySQL-server 5.5.18-1.linux2.6 Applications\/Databases MySQL: a very fast and reliable SQL database server
\nMySQL-shared 5.5.18-1.linux2.6 Applications\/Databases MySQL – Shared libraries<\/p>\n
I then installed MySQL from yum. \u00a0It loaded fine but I couldn’t for the life me find out how to start it, the standard \/etc\/rc.d\/init.d\/mysqld was not to be found.<\/p>\n
I found this in a post and it worked (logged in as root) so I figured I’d better document it so I don’t forget:<\/p>\n
systemctl start mysqld.service<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
