Hi, Make sure that your system starts at runlevel 3 on boot. If you start your machine with X11, chances are that its runlevel is 5.
Check your /etc/inittab file and look for a line with "initdefault" keyword: id:3:initdefault: If you start at runlevel 5, you should create a symbolic link in /etc/init.d/rc5.d Hope this helps, -- Joseph Bueno Natale Babbo wrote: > Many Thanks .... > > No problems with mysql.server script ... it works fine > if i start it manual like this: > shell> mysql.server start > or > shell> mysql.server stop > ... also symbolic link in /etc/init.d/rc3.d is ok. > > The only problem is that MySQL service doesn't start > at boot. > > Natale Babbo. > > > > > --- Iikka_Meriläinen > ha scritto: > On Tue, 29 Oct 2002, Natale Babbo wrote: > > >>Hi all, > >> > >>I'm using Linux Suse 8.0. > >>I copied the file mysql.server located in > >>/usr/local/mysql/support-files to /etc/init.d > >>directory. > >>I made a simbolic link to mysql.server script in > >>/etc/init.d/rc3.d but MySQL doesn't appear to > > > >start at > > > >>the boot time. > >> > >>Anyone can help me? > > > >Hi! > > > >Try starting mysqld with --console --standalone > >parameters and see if it > >starts at all.
