But in any case, Fedora's mysql package was converted to systemd some time ago, so you might have better luck using the native systemd service management commands: systemctl enable mysqld.service systemctl start mysqld.service systemctl status mysqld.service If "start" fails, there might be relevant info in either or both of /var/log/messages and /var/log/mysqld.log. (One of the prime reasons forcing conversion to systemd was that systemd's handling of SysV init scripts is so utterly user-unfriendly. It surprises me not at all that the emulated "service" commands aren't telling you anything useful. They pretty much suck, so you should learn the new ones ASAP.) regards, tom lane -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
