I am using CentOS 6.5. I installed MySQL Server 5.5 from a .rpm
package (downloaded from the official MySQL site) using the default .rpm
installer. I also installed MySQL Client package the same way.
As far as I know, mysql
process is MySQL client, and mysqld
is MySQL server - although I'm not sure.
The problem is that the mysqld
process is not running. When I type service mysqld start
or service mysqld status
I get the same error message
mysqld: unrecognized service
However, mysql
process is running fine. I was able to run queries successfully using the mysql
command.
I need to be repository-independent, so I am not supposed to use yum
.
When I run /usr/sbin/mysqld start
, I get the following error:
[ERROR] Fatal error: Please read "Security" section of the manual to find out how to run mysqld as root!
[ERROR] Aborting
[Note] mysqld: Shutdown complete
