Installing MySQL Service<\/h2>\n

To install the MySQL service, you need to run the following command:<\/p>\n

\r\n[root@fedora16 ~]# yum install mysql mysql-server -y\r\n<\/pre>\n
Here is an example of a MySQL installation:<\/p>\n
\r\n[root@fedora16 ~]# yum install mysql mysql-server -y\r\nSetting up Install Process\r\nResolving Dependencies\r\n--> Running transaction check\r\n---> Package mysql.i686 0:5.5.14-3.fc16 will be installed\r\n---> Package mysql-server.i686 0:5.5.14-3.fc16 will be installed\r\n--> Finished Dependency Resolution\r\nDependencies Resolved\r\n====================================================================================================\r\n Package Arch Version Repository Size\r\n====================================================================================================\r\nInstalling:\r\n mysql i686 5.5.14-3.fc16 Fedora16-Repository 4.2 M\r\n mysql-server i686 5.5.14-3.fc16 Fedora16-Repository 7.8 M\r\nTransaction Summary\r\n====================================================================================================\r\nInstall 2 Packages\r\nTotal download size: 12 M\r\nInstalled size: 70 M\r\nDownloading Packages:\r\n----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\r\nTotal 51 MB\/s | 12 MB 00:00\r\nRunning Transaction Check\r\nRunning Transaction Test\r\nTransaction Test Succeeded\r\nRunning Transaction\r\n Installing : mysql-5.5.14-3.fc16.i686 1\/2\r\n Installing : mysql-server-5.5.14-3.fc16.i686 2\/2\r\nInstalled:\r\n mysql.i686 0:5.5.14-3.fc16 mysql-server.i686 0:5.5.14-3.fc16\r\nComplete!\r\n<\/pre>\n
Configuring MySQL Service to Run at Boot on Fedora 16<\/h2>\n
To ensure that the MySQL service runs automatically at boot, you need to run the following command:<\/p>\n
\r\n[root@fedora16 ~]# systemctl enable mysqld.service\r\n<\/pre>\n
Here is an example:<\/p>\n
\r\n[root@fedora16 ~]# systemctl enable mysqld.service\r\nln -s '\/lib\/systemd\/system\/mysqld.service' '\/etc\/systemd\/system\/multi-user.target.wants\/mysqld.service'\r\n<\/pre>\n
If you run the chkconfig command, it will also return the same result as above:<\/p>\n
\r\n[root@fedora16 ~]# chkconfig --levels 235 mysqld on\r\nNote: Forwarding request to 'systemctl enable mysqld.service'.\r\nor\r\n[root@fedora16 ~]# chkconfig mysqld on\r\nNote: Forwarding request to 'systemctl enable mysqld.service'.\r\n<\/pre>\n
