My site is hosted in a remote server. I can't find /etc/init.d/mysqld /etc does exists but /etc/init.d doesn't What I found is /usr/bin/msql2mysql /usr/bin/mysql_config /usr/bin/mysql /usr/bin/mysql_install_db /usr/bin/mysql_find_rows ... and a lot of files like /usr/bin/mysql.... The one that seems to be useful is /usr/lib/php4/mysql.so it's the socket, isn't? I guess that running /etc/init.d/mysqld start is kind of command line executing So, how can I start mysql from inside a php script? Thanks again. Gabriel.
