I think that I got it, When I did 'rpm -ql mysql-server' with the package coming from remi's repository, the configuration file did not appear. I guess so that this package is not complete. This is a list of what I get: /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld /usr/bin/innochecksum /usr/bin/myisam_ftdump /usr/bin/myisamchk /usr/bin/myisamlog /usr/bin/myisampack /usr/bin/mysql_convert_table_format /usr/bin/mysql_fix_extensions /usr/bin/mysql_fix_privilege_tables /usr/bin/mysql_install_db /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation /usr/bin/mysql_setpermission /usr/bin/mysql_tzinfo_to_sql /usr/bin/mysql_upgrade /usr/bin/mysql_zap /usr/bin/mysqlbug /usr/bin/mysqld_multi /usr/bin/mysqld_safe /usr/bin/mysqldumpslow /usr/bin/mysqlhotcopy /usr/bin/mysqltest /usr/bin/perror /usr/bin/replace /usr/bin/resolve_stack_dump /usr/bin/resolveip /usr/lib64/mysql/plugin /usr/lib64/mysql/plugin/ha_innodb_plugin.so /usr/lib64/mysql/plugin/ha_innodb_plugin.so.0 ... As you can see this config file is not in therefore, the service cannot resume. 2010/2/11 <Phebe_Mertes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: > > From: Johan Dindaine <jojolapin972@xxxxxxxxx> > > To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list <redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx> > > Date: 02/11/2010 08:33 AM > > Subject: Re: Equivalent of apt-get purge for yum > > Sent by: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx > > > > > > > > > I've done this but when I reinstall the package, I still don't get > everynthing reinstalled properly. > > 2010/2/11 Stainforth, Matthew (SD/DS) <Matthew.Stainforth@xxxxxx>: >> You could try "rpm -e packagename" or "yum remove packagename".
