I want to get mysql to start for the first time. I installed it on RHEL version 6. All of the commands posted were executed as root.
As a test, I ran this:
# yum install mysql
This is the output:
Loaded plugins: amazon-id, rhui-lb, search-disabled-repos Package
1:mariadb-5.5.47-1.el7_2.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
The directory /etc/init.d/ has no mysql or mariadb file inside it.
I tried these five commands (and posted the output after them):
# service mysql start
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start mysql.service Failed to start
mysql.service: Unit mysql.service failed to load: No such file or
directory.
# systemctl start mysql.service
Failed to start mysql.service: Unit mysql.service failed to load: No
such file or directory.
# systemctl start mysql.service
Failed to start mysql.service: Unit mysql.service failed to load: No
such file or directory.
# systemctl start mariadb
Failed to start mariadb.service: Unit mariadb.service failed to load:
No such file or directory.
# systemctl start mysql
Failed to start mysql.service: Unit mysql.service failed to load: No
such file or directory.
I used
whereis mysql
The resulting outputs gave me no leads of files to start to get the service to start.
What should I do to get MySQL running?
