Hi Guifre, thanks for answering. I already have mysql installed and works just fine, but I did untar and then go to folder and run. I used what is called mysql no-install so no yum, rpm etc.. No files in /etc/init.d and no startup or services script since this is using the no-install version.
Thanks...

Sorry but my english is very poor... (reading and writing! Thanks http://translate.google.com/ ! ) At first can you install yet mysql? If you have installet yet mysql you can go to /etc/init.d and look if the startup script is in this directory. I understand your question right? 2010/8/12 Nunzio Daveri <nunziodav...@yahoo.com> Hi all, I just installed the no-install version of mysql 5.1.44 on our RHEL 5 >box AFTER I yum removed the older 4.X version.
