Thanks for the information and for taking time to help me. By the way, I downloaded the mysql-server package, which allowed me to start the server. I have been a loyal RedHat customer for over 10 years and I like to see their products improve. They should try to improve on their documentation and customer relations. If you choose to install MySQL there is a good possibility that you will run the server. Why do they install the httpd startup script and not mysqld? I am NOT trying to be a pain, I simply don't understand why do I have to learn from a listserve about channels and not have this explained in the documentation. If the two wonderful members of this list did not respond to my query, I would be pulling the few hairs I have left wondering why MySQL does not work. Nevertheless, RedHat should be careful and try not to alienate their customers by providing unfriendly solutions.
