This is VERY confusing!!!!! I bought and installed the Red Hat enterprise version thinking that I will be getting a "better" product. During the installation I selected ALL packages under mysql and almost all packages from the rest of the optional ones. The rpm product of RedHat _should_ find all dependencies. Well, I issue the command "mysql" and I receive "ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) " ps -A does not show a mysqld. mysqld in not under init.d mysqld does not appear anywhere on my computer. ps -aux | grep mysqld returns nothing Where is the mysql process? Then, I call RedHat, since I have some sort of support, and after I punched 1, then 3, then 2, then 22 on the phone, I got a stupid message stating that their offices are closed on Saturdays! And I thought Microsoft was evil. At any rate, now that I have a load of software installed I will probably have to re-install and this time I will select to install all packages.
