I tried your suggestion, unfortunately I can't bring up mysqld manually either. I get the following message: [snip] mysqld: unrecognized service [/snip] I also tried: /etc/init.d/mysql.server start Then I get the error message: [snip] /etc/init.d/mysql.server: line 121: my_print_defaults: command not found Can?t execute /usr/bin/mysqld_safe from dir / [/snip] __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
