Mysql wont start.

Post by Cheeseboy »

Hi, i installed mysql 5 from source and now i get this error:

Code: Select all

bash-3.00# /etc/rc.d/rc.mysqld start
bash-3.00# The file /usr/libexec/mysqld doesn't exist or is not executable
Please do a cd to the mysql installation directory and restart
this script from there as follows:
./bin/mysqld_safe.
See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/mysqld_safe.html for more
information
/etc/rc.d
I checked the /usr/libexec/mysqld and it doesnt exist.
Does any one have a link to a page that can show me how to install mysql right on linux?
Thanks :D
