To check Mysqld status :<\/p>\n
\n[root@centos58 ~]# service mysqld status\nmysqld is stopped\n<\/pre>\nStart MySQL service :<\/p>\n
\n[root@centos58 ~]# service mysqld start\n<\/pre>\nStart MySQL service at first time :<\/p>\n
\n[root@centos58 ~]# service mysqld start\nInitializing MySQL database: WARNING: The host 'centos58.ehowtuff.local' could not be looked up with resolveip.\nThis probably means that your libc libraries are not 100 % compatible\nwith this binary MySQL version. The MySQL daemon, mysqld, should work\nnormally with the exception that host name resolving will not work.\nThis means that you should use IP addresses instead of hostnames\nwhen specifying MySQL privileges !\nInstalling MySQL system tables...\nOK\nFilling help tables...\nOK\n\nTo start mysqld at boot time you have to copy\nsupport-files\/mysql.server to the right place for your system\n\nPLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !\nTo do so, start the server, then issue the following commands:\n\/usr\/bin\/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'\n\/usr\/bin\/mysqladmin -u root -h centos58.ehowtuff.local password 'new-password'\n\nAlternatively you can run:\n\/usr\/bin\/mysql_secure_installation\n\nwhich will also give you the option of removing the test\ndatabases and anonymous user created by default.
