Your point are well taken. I was ale to follow directions from the mysql
website to start getting mysql to work instead of the linux site which was
the basis for my original post. Does anyone know where I can go to download
(aside from the red hat site where i would need to gather license info) a
php-mysql rpm?

Subject: Re: Installing php and mysql on linux
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

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
