oh – should also note that mysql comes in two parts – client and server. “urpmi mysql” only installs the client part. you should replace also “urpmi mysql-server” to get the server part.

installing MySQL doesn’t automatically start it running.

Once you’ve installed it (“urpmi mysql” as you said), you then need to start it running. “service mysqld start” should work, and if not, then “/etc/init.d/mysqld start”.

then, to make sure it starts every time you boot the machine, do “chkconfig –add mysqld”, or if you prefer, just add one of the service start commands noted above to /etc/rc.local

I forgot to say.

If you reboot and MySQL is no longer working don’t worry! Remember that you need to start XAMPP for MySQL to work. Start XAMPP:

/opt/lampp/lampp start
