You've either got path problems or up2date is not installed. That's
what 'command not found' means, it can't find the 'up2date' command.
Do you just want to start the MySQL server? Or are you trying to
update the MySQL rpm?
You should be able to start the server with a '/etc/init.d/mysql
start', as root. If that doesn't work try 'mysqld' in place of
'mysql'. I don't remember which one Fedora uses.
If you're trying to update the rpm then make sure you have up2date
installed. 'rmp -qa | grep up2date' should get you something. If it
is installed then try to ad the complete path to up2date, I can't
remember where it is off the top of my head but '/usr/bin/up2date' or
'/usr/sbin/up2date' should get it.
I would also suggest you either look online or get a good book on
linux administration, especially if this system is doing anything
important. As root you can really mess it up if you don't know what
you're doing. And you could probably find a good used book fairly
cheap. You shouldn't need to get the latest and greatest as the basic
administration stuff has been relatively standard for quite a few
years now.
Good Luck!

I checked the above page on 'Yum" and see no up2date command as you
point out. However when I tried update in the format suggested in
the link, it still gives a command not found error.

I think up2date is *not* up2date ;-)
Google for 'yum' and all its flags for usage...

Hi all,
I am attempting to start the mysql rpm in Red hat as a first step
prior to downloading and activating the php-mysql rpm. I was
attempting to follow steps based on the link below. the php rpm
is loaded and activated as I have been able to execute php
scripts. When I attempt to follow those directions, I get the
below errors. Does anyone know why I got the below errors or can
help me through this process?
Thanks
