McConnell --RHCE-- <Red Hat Certified Engineer> > Ok so I tried the /etc/init.d/mysqld start and it almost worked it returned this error: Initializing MySQL database: Sorry, the host 'dhcp-482-2416' could not be looked up. Please configure the 'hostname' command to return a correct hostname. If you want to solve this at a later stage, restart this script with the --force option [FAILED] So what do I do to resolve this one, do I use the force option? Sorry for my ignorance and Thanx for the help. P.S. My /etc/hosts file looks like this: # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
